Sociology of the Newton Phenomenon

I bought the first Newton when it came out. It was dog slow and handwriting recognition wasn't great so I stopped using it within a month. Burned once, I never bought another. But, I still can't help but think a modern day Newton with the excellent handwriting recognition later models had, would be cool.
