I simply can't walk and read a book at the same time (not without hurting
myself). (OK, I would like to fix that, but I don't see how wearables is the
solution.)

Paper will not be reaplaced by wearables. Paper will be replaced by nothing
less than Paper++. It must match price, resolution, weight and size. Paper
is actually one of most impressive technologies we have today. But lets get
back to wearables...
>Me, I simply don't get mad. But the Newt2000 is just an expensive toy.

Agreed (but I like them both :-). But why is the Newt130 unusable?
Because it doesn't communicate well. It's just a fancy filofax. But the
Real filofax is built on the superior paper technology, which makes
it much better. A real filofax doesn't pretend to do email. I think the
Newton story well shows that it's connectivity that matters, not
computation.

Or as Churchill would have put it, "We shall work on to the end. We shall work
in France and on the seas and oceans; we shall work growing MHz and growing
Mbit in the air; We shall compile our code whatever the cost may be; we shall
work on beaches, landing grounds, in fields, in streets and on the hills; We shall
never disconnect".
