Don't want to spoil your fun, but do yourself a favor and get a 2100. It's much more versatile and powerful than the 130. It can do wireless (both WiFi - if admittedly only practical for mail - and bluetooth), it can play mp3s (though they have to be prepared carefully)

you can even use it as a mobile

(ok, this you can do with a 130 too). 

For typing itself the eMate is ideal. Never used a better keyboard than the eMate's, and though the machine is rather slow compared to the 2100, it can talk to its keyboardless brothers via infrared. I have two 2100s and one eMate (which all connect flawlessly to my iMac) and I use them on a daily basis. I understand you are Dutch, so you might find my German speaking articles on Newton technology entertaining:
