" The Top 100 Gadgets of All Time" list for Mobile PC Magazine

#39 is...

APPLE NEWTON MESSAGEPAD 120, 1994
  Nobody's disputing that the Palm changed mobility forever. But two years
before the Pilot 1000 blazed onto store shelves, Apple dropped its own
handheld on the world. ...

BTW, #1 was the APPLE POWERBOOK 100.

Interesting (and understandable) that they chose the 120, not the 100
or 110. Although there was a version of the 110 with Newton OS 2.0
(and therefore improved handwriting recognition), if I remember right.
