[NTLK] Weird Newt in "Hackers"?

I just saw the movie "Hackers" last night. In it a delivery man uses a
weird-looking handheld that I think might have been a Newt (it was the
scene where the clear Duo is delivered). The odd thing was that it looked
pretty thick. Also, when they showed it being written on, it didn't
convert it to text. This could be because Apple paid a huge amount for
product placement. At least, that is what I assume, considering how all
the hackers drool over a Duo 280c and extoll its virtues the way they do.
Has anyone who has seen the movie noticed this or know about it? I know
that this is very little info, but it is all I have, and I am pretty
curious about this.

Is that a Newton in your pocket, or are you happy to see me?
