I remember my mom had one of these. Where she worked, all the upper management had one. All I remember was hearing her curse at it constantly because the writing recognition never worked and to use the “beam” feature, you’d had to be perfectly lined up to the person you were “beaming”.

yes, it failed miserably, slow, battery hungry, limited funcionality; and the best part is when apple axed the newton PalmComputing had a great success with the palm that really worked

@@alerey4363 So in the early days of PDAs I tried out both the Palm Pilot and the Newton. The PP had a goofy way of accepting handwriting input (if you resigned yourself to never writing normal again), that worked as long as you were willing to change. The Newton usually got my handwriting correct. I still use mine to take notes.

It was 1997, I was in China in elementary school and my uncle went back from America 🇺🇸 to visit us with this Apple Newton thing, I WAS BLOWN AWAY. In 1997, Chinese were using very primitive electronic hand held “dictionary” only allow us to input contact. We didn’t know what Email was at all.

Not Email...electronic mail😅

[@nataliebarkhatova6471]

I had a Newton PDA thanks to dad! He wanted me to learn how to use new technologies, but for me Newton was too boring and couldn't be compared to PDAs by Dell, Asus and Acer.
