PDA : Palmtops : Apple : Newton Message Pad


Apple NewtonNewton Message Pad-Serie

Die »Newtons« sind PDAs mit einer Größe, die etwa einem Taschenbuch entspricht. Sie verfügen über einen PC Card-Slot für ein Modem oder Speicher sowie über eine Infrarot-Netzwerkschnittstelle. Als Betriebssystem wird, im Gegensatz zu den Powerbooks, nicht AppleOS, sondern Apple NewtonOS verwendet. Wie auch bei anderen PDAs üblich gibt es keine Festplatte, Betriebssystem, Anwendungen und Daten werden permanent im Arbeitsspeicher bereitgehalten.

Apple führte im Newton erstmals eine Handschrifterkennung für den Consumer-Bereich ein, die allerdings heftig kritisiert wurde.

Apple hat eine Reihe von Newton Message Pads auf den Markt gebracht:

  • Newton Message Pad 2100
  • Newton Message Pad 2000
    Web- und E-Mail-Fähigkeit, Graustufen-Display mit Hintergrundbeleuchtung; CPU: 166-MHz-PowerPC.
  • Newton Message Pad 120
  • Newton Message Pad 130
    Vorläufer des Message Pad 2000; erster Newton mit hintergrundbeleuchtetem Display
  • eMate 300
    Eingebaute Tastatur.
  • Newton Message Pad, Original
