Retro Review: Apple eMate 300 PDA/Laptop Hybrid

This is the first in my series of Retro reviews. The Apple eMate, released in 1997, was aimed at schools and ran the Newton OS. It was a laptop and PDA hybrid, and is still loved by many.

@AppSlice @AppSlice thankyou for the fast response! You responded faster than everyone I've asked! Especially Seeing as I gave you the least amount of notice of everyone, I just finished it, youtube.com/watch?v=Szk8EyVdOf­8

I remember wanting these, and I still want this thing today. :( I'll take me chances of getting a working one from eBay.

I'm getting one of these instead of an iPad :)

@davidsdiego Awesome! I really wanted to get my hands on a MessagePad... unfortunately, I had to settle for the eMate. Still cool though =) And you're welcome!
