Has a Messagepad 100 back in the day; hated it, sold it and bought a Psion 3MX. (Alas, Psion shrieked and ran away when Microsoft announced a competitor to their micro-laptop-esque palmtops, which eventuated as vapourware.)<p>Some of us just don&#x27;t get on with handwriting.<p>Having said that? If you have a smartphone but the list of benefits from the Newton appeal to you, you might want to try a Livescribe+ smartpen. Syncs with your phone or tablet, works like a pen on notepad or paper, the sync app takes care of handwriting recognition, and you can sync through it to Dropbox or Evernote. So you can leave your phone in your pocket and just use a pen and a notepad, and still have the benefits of everything being transcribed automagically and available online. (Yes, it needs special paper, but the dot pattern is available as a PDF if you want to print your own.)
