History: The Newton Message Pad 2000 was a complete mobile computer with a wide range of software like web-browser, eMail-client, word processor, fax software, calendar, address book and it was even able to record speech for up to one hour on its 4 MB memory card. However, the major advantage to its predecessor (MP 130) was its new processor. The 160 MHz StrongARM processor speeded up all operations of the Newton Message Pad 2000 significantly. The MP 2000 was later re-launched as Message Pad 2100, the first Newton with an Ethernet networking card. However, the Newton Message Pad 2100 was the last Newton Apple ever produced.
