The N800 is a great machine. Technologically speaking, the N800 is a dramatic advance over the Newton. At right is a Newton MessagePad 2100. It's an old monster. Its screen is twice the size of the N800, but it's only 320x480. It's much larger and heavier than the N800, mostly due to NiMH batteries. It does have a much better stylus, so much so that I keep it in my N800's bag. [Bag hint for N800 Owners: the N800 is about the same size and shape as the Nintendo DS Lite]. In contrast, the N800 has true multitasking. It has a CPU that's twice the speed. It has 32 times as much SDRAM. It has a color screen, and built-in 802.11 and bluetooth (Newton users hack wireless and bluetooth with public domain plug-ins and cards). It has a flat memory model and 2 SD cards rather than 2 PCMCIA slots. It's got a client USB rather than serial ports. It's got a great, modern web browser with JavaScript and Flash.

Pros:Two SD slots up to 8 or 16 GBs of storage, Upgraded RAM capacity and CPU speed, Always-ON responsiveness, Crispy clear sound quality, Amazing Wi-Fi reception, Better quality screen, Lovely kickstand, Good battery life, Cute software

Cons:Camera only captures 2/3s of the desired image, Backwards incompatible with most older apps, YouTube & GoogleVideo are unwatchable [update: somewhat fixed], No A2DP/AVRCP/HSP/HFP profiles, A bit too wide for my own taste, No hardware lock slider, Bad MPEG-4 support, No USB recharge
