Actually, you can carry it around and serve your website from it as long as you can get a modem or ethernet connection. Matthew Vaughn has written a web server for Newton devices running NewtonOS 2.x. Of course it runs a bit faster on a 166mhz StrongArm MP2100 than the 25mhz eMate, but the eMate looks way cooler.
Newton Personal Data Sharing (the web server) can be found at http://come.to/lightyear_media
Since the Newt OS is so embedded, I don't think that anyone has tried a *nix port yet. There was a GNUton effort to reverse engineer the system that started a year or so back when they were discontinued, but I don't think it has gone anyhwere.
