It works fine for me and I can't beat the price. My girlfriend has
one and I had one, bought another, and then sold my first one.

I've only tried 120's that had NOS 2.0.

Probably nothing compared with an MP2k or eMate.

For printed, pretty accurate, but kind of slow. For cursive, takes a
little while for it to learn, but you can freely revert back to
printed while in cursive mode.

Try the Newton Gallery at http://www.msu.edu/~luckie/newtgal.htm
especially

for the NOS 2.0.

Like I said, kind of slow.
>Anyone?
I find it the best bang for the buck - I didn't want to spend more
than $100 and I didn't and I like it better than a PalmPilot's HWR.
Slightly tedious to use without a back-light and because it is so slow.
I like how it feels in my hand for just tapping, but I find it
problematic to actually write on it sometimes. I imagine the issues
are similar to those of the MP2000.
While the processor might not be all that different from the eMate's
processor, the limited amount of DRAM (not upgradable, last I check)
makes it rather slow.
Its cost makes it ideal for situations that you might not trust your
eMate or MP2000 in - grocery store, restaurant, other places where it
might get dirty or have things be spilled on it. Of course, the
eMate's ruggedness makes that not an issue, but I believe this is
smaller than an eMate.
Oh yeah - batteries and power - batteries can't recharge in the unit,
so you need a separate charging thing - like the recharging "cradle"
available for the 110, 120, and 130 (part H0087), and rechargable
batteries. You could use alkaline non-rechargable, but then you'll
need to change them periodically - my first set of alkaline batteries
lasted me about a month of casual, non-continuous usage.
