I wondered why no one comes up with a modern newton using things like eink or something. Give it a nice wifi radio, and a big battery in a small size and try to emulate the feeling and design of the newton but for today. I think it&#x27;d be a perfect fit for people like him who love his Newton because it&#x27;s not like it&#x27;d be impossible to make. The advantages of technology are not small, but his points of distraction on an iPad are very real. I changed to using paper because honestly paper is the only easy way to focus on ideas without being distracting by every little thing you can get done a computer as I know from experience.<p>Someone mentioned boogie boards on this thread, but I found that they broke a lot and obviously weren&#x27;t as feature filled as they could be. Not to mention they were pretty expensive for what they were... which was a digital whiteboard, not quite a PDA or Newton by any means.
