Since the Newton has been discontinued for about 3 years now, pretty much the only ways to get them are through eBay or similar auction/ classifieds sources. Maybe you can just check your local paper to see if anyone in your area has one up for sale.

Links here to private Newt sales and all of the software FTPs I just bought a 2100 from someone at the Newton usenet group and it truly is the most feature rich and advanced PDA, so far ahea of its time

Shreve Systems has 130's available. They are refurbished, and not a terrible price.

AllMac.com has brand new Newton Keyboards. I bought one. They are nice and new. In the box and everything.

A quick search for "refurbished newton message pads" brought up this company. I have no idea who they are, how reputable they are, or anything.. They have eMates and 130's. Nice prices..

Hope this helps somewhat.

Whatever you do, don't go with Shreve. I have heard nothing but bad things about them. Units arriving DOA and then trouble returning them and so on. Go for eBay or the Newton Classifieds. There will be much better deals and you can better gauge the conditions.

If anyone is interested in eMates or Newtons just email me. I have many to sell. Lots of accessories also.
