The computer, nominally named Newton, weighs less than a pound at just 8 by 6 by 0.5 inches by 3, but it functions as much as even more than IBM’s latest generation of 486 personal computers. The computer is controlled by a specially crafted electronic pen that easily recognizes handwritten handwriting and transmits data via infrared and another computer. It even faxes over the telephone, allowing the battery to run continuously for one full day without recharging.
