I wondered why no one comes up with a modern newton using things like eink or something. Give it a nice wifi radio, and a big battery in a small size and try to emulate the feeling and design of the newton but for today. I think it'd be a perfect fit for people like him who love his Newton because it's not like it'd be impossible to make. The advantages of technology are not small, but his points of distraction on an iPad are very real. I changed to using paper because honestly paper is the only easy way to focus on ideas without being distracting by every little thing you can get done a computer as I know from experience.
Someone mentioned boogie boards on this thread, but I found that they broke a lot and obviously weren't as feature filled as they could be. Not to mention they were pretty expensive for what they were... which was a digital whiteboard, not quite a PDA or Newton by any means.
