Released in 1993, theApple Newton MessagePad was the worldās first Personal Digital Assistant, making ita highly collectible for the vintage computing community!It retailed for $699, that's over $1,600 today!The Apple Newton MessagePad was a revolutionary handheld communications assistant designed to keep you connected, organized, and ahead of the curve while on the move. Armed with a high-performance 32-bit ARM RISC microchip and intelligent Newton Intelligence software, it fundamentally transforms the way you capture ideas. Simply touch the stylus to the reflective monochrome glass screen to take notes, sketch diagrams, plan your schedule, or manage your contacts. With its advanced built-in handwriting recognition, the MessagePad actively learns your unique penmanship over time, capturing your natural handwriting and instantly translating it into crisp digital text on screen. Far more than a pocket planner, it features an integrated infrared beam interface to share data wirelessly across the room with other users, alongside expandable PCMCIA card architecture for software and storage expansion. Combined with the companion Fax Modem, the MessagePad transforms into a complete portable communications hub, empowering you to send faxes and exchange digital mail directly from your briefcase wherever your business takes you. It is the ultimate tool for the mobile professional, putting the entire future of handheld personal computing right into the palm of your hand.The Newton weighs in at just under 1 lb and measures 7.25" x .75" x 4.5" wide!

Condition:Finding a working, first-generation Newton setup with its period-correct peripherals & accessories is incredibly rare today, as most surviving units suffer from neglected battery corrosion or terminal component failure.After a close inspection, we found a beautifully preserved example of this rare piece of history. The MessagePad's cabinet only has a few minor scuffs and the screen is scratch-free. The extremely rare "Getting Started"PCMCIA is included, along with the original Leather Case and stylus, plus a spare! We are also including four brand new Energizer Rechargeable NiMH Batteries, and installed a new Energizer Lithium battery in the backup slot, so you are ready to go!The Newton Fax Modem is also in excellent condition and includes the original telephone cord. Both units have nice, clean battery compartments with no corrosion. The original Owner's Manual had gone missing and we weren't able to find any available online. So we created the pictured copy, using the subsequentMessagePad 100manual, which is nearly identical to the original.All comes inthe generic boxwith customStyrofoam inserts as seen in the pics. Please do inspect all the pictures thoroughly for actual condition.Testing:Our tech set this up on our test bench and was pleased that, once new batteries were installed, it powered right up with no issues! With one exception, an error that it could not read the card. As oxidized pins are a common issue, all were carefully cleaned, after which the error no longer appeared. But, the card cannot be accessed through the menu, which is apparently a common issue with these cards after over 30 years. So, even though no longer working, it is still an incredibly rare addition to this bundle, and you can be assured that any working cards will read properly.Further testing was performed, if there is a specific feature you would like to know more about just let us know before buying. What a great find for the vintage electronics collector!
