Cnet is running an article comparing the

Pitting a new machine against one that was released 10 years ago seems a little strange. However, CNet claims that the Apple Newton comes out on top.

After going through 10 grueling stages between the two devices the winning claims that won it all was the price, ($100 for the Newton and $1000 for the Q1) and the battery life where obviously the Newton lasts longer with an impressive 30 hour battery life while the Q1 doesn’t quite reach that mark and falls about 27 hours short.

So if you want a fat PDA from the late 90s I think you should seriously consider the Newton. if you want a fat new machine that runs new software consider the Q1.
