There is nothing out there that should really be called a "PDA", except the
Newton. The other offerings are basically organizers on steroids (Palm) or
shrunk-to-fit mini-computers (PocketPC). Nothing comes close to the Newton.
So, I would say yes, the 2100 is still the best alternative.
200-250 UK Pounds is a bit expensive for a 2100 these days, unless the unit
comes with a lot of accessories. For that price, you should expect to get an
Ethernet card, a 16MB flash RAM card, an interconnect port adaptor (dongle),
a leather case, a keyboard and a couple of good rechargeable packs.
