HTML5 vs Newton - a set on Flickr
This series of screenshots shows Apple’s questionably named HTML5 and web standards showcase pages displayed on a Newton MessagePad 2100.
The Newton was running Eckhart Köppen’s lightweight, text-only Courier web browser, as well as Steve Weyer’s more capableNewt’s Cape browser.
Keep in mind that both browsers were developed prior to the existence of HTML5. While neither piece of software supports the advanced interaction or layout effects afforded by JavaScript and CSS3, the clean HTML5 markup is completely accessible.
That’s called gracefully degraded content.
“ That’s the thing about Apple marketing. They don’t talk about how many gigabytes of memory or how many CPU cycles or how many apps (much). They aim for your heart, and show you how technology can make your life better during its most important moments. ”

Impressions After Two Months of Using an iPad - ProfHacker - The Chronicle of Higher Education
This is an excellent article by a fellow iPad user after two months. She brings some excellent points as well as a nice wish list.
She and I both agree in the desire for alternate entry. In her case Swype, in my case Version 1 Graffiti from the palm would be sweet for taking notes without looking.
A while back I wrote about my initial impressions. I have now been using it for a couple of months and will publish my new thoughts this weekend.
