Hey!
I was looking through an Apple history site and came across the eMate 300/MessagePad 2100 and thought it would be perfect for school (what the eMate was meant for lol) and I wanted to go buy one. However, the both are pretty old now, and lacks USB/FireWire connectivity.
Are there any modern alternatives to the Newton? I don't want a PDA because of it's lack of a keyboard or very tiny keyboard, not to mention lack of school-oriented software (word processor a biggie here)...
A nice plus would be the ability to play Mp3s, but it's not required - that's what my future iPod Photo is for
If it helps any, I'm a 10th grader taking algebra (advanced calculator would be nice) and need to be able to use it to jot down notes w/ stylus at very short notice - also a large writing area would be cool.
Any recommendations/suggestions?
Thanks!
