I wonder how complicated it would be to replicate the functionality of a Newton with off the shelf components now (Arduino, etc). I guess the low power touchsc

  Screen's not so bad. You can select a difficult small amount of memory for code and storage with slow CPU and slow access to bulk storage with an arduino, or somewhat complicated I/O and software stacks with high power use on a RaspPi. There's a hole in the market around many megs of storage and a tenth of a watt or so of power and 10 MIPS of non DSP or so. Below there's tons of offerings, and above there's tons of offerings, but in between theres not much. Probably because there's not many applications. The world's full of engine computers and toasters, and tablets and phones, but in between not so much.

    > many megs of storage and a tenth of a watt Just combine an ARM Cortex-M (~50-100 MIPS) and SD card.
