IMHO the Newton had some very good features and the Palm Pilot certainly has many great features (I have a IIIX and would sooner trade my firstborn than give it up). If the companies can truly cooperate and combine the best of both worlds, it can only be a plus for the consumer. Although I love my Palm Pilot, I am definitely graffitti impaired,(guess that proves I can't even draw a straight line with a ruler) and handwriting recognition that would learn how I write would be a godsend!
