I would say that the general consensus is that there is no one item that
satisfies most Newton users. All of the 'replacements' fail to meet the
standard put in place by a 10 year old apple technology. Some items meet
some peoples needs but nothing really competes.
A tablet PC (or Mac) might have some parts but it's not portable like a
newt. Blackberry devices and pocket pc's have some parts but not others.
If you want to move away from a newton then you need to make a list of
what you REALLY need a device to do , prioritize it and then look for
what can go the farthest down YOUR list. Most devices fail pretty
rapidly unless your list is short and very focused.
