The other thing about the Newton is that the gesture driven interface still hasn't been beat. I don't care about the handwriting as much as some (I learned graffiti just fine, back in the day of also using a Palm), but the ease and sensibility of scratching out, highlight-tap- drag, and "storing" my clipboards on the edge of the screen is just so sensible that I can't believe that others (including the new Apple) haven't done it again.
So, that's how I use my handheld device. I've also got an Alphasmart Dana that's my portable writing solution, and an old Nokia S60 series 1 phone that I use with ReadM to read text files on the go.
