Hi boys,
I just bought a newton for 25$!! Now i'd like to know, can I transfer new apps to it? Should I train it to recognize my writing style? Whats the coolest at it? Its a MessagePad from 1993, which are the tech specs of it?
Steve

You probably bought a Messagepad 100. Open the back battery compartment and remove the battery and look inside. There should be a sticker that says what model it is.
I just got a Newton 100 from ebay, too. I actually wanted a 130 and misread the item, but that's okay. I only paid 30 bucks for it and it came with some other stuff that I can use later on.

hmm, when I take out those battery stuff, there is a sticker saying S33468AG. The model number is H1000.
Which other stuff do you mean?

Yours sounds like a Newton 100. The setup I got on eBay had a leather case and a 2 MB flash memory card and 2 styluses. Plus an external modem. Not to bad.

Actually, if it is from 1993 (the year the Newt came out in August) and hasn't been upgraded since, then it could be an Original MessagePad, not a 100.
The giveaway would be the OS version: either 1.0 or 1.1 would set it as an OMP.
1.2 or higher would be a 100.
Don't want to alarm you, but the OMP had a fair share of problems, which is probably why Apple bulldozed them into the ground for a tax writeoff.

...that was the 'Lisa', named after $J's kid.
...the MP100 was resold thru retail channels, I picked one up at MacMall for US$169.00 in May 1995, they still had more since that was the first day of the sale. There were other retail channels including some online resellers also selling for US$169.00.
...the Palm-based exchange program might have destroyed the previous Palms and similar handhelds. We're still trying to find out.
