Apple's Original, Most Innovative Handheld - The Newton!
Up for auction is a MessagePad 120 in surprisingly good condition. The screen has only a few minor scratches and everything appears to be functioning with the exception of the backup battery (3V, 2032) which needs replacing.
I'm including the 350+ page manual, so you won't be left with any unanswered questions. Additionally, there is a wealth of information online about the Newton MessagePad 120.

Questions & Comments
I think that Palm was started by some of the original design team after Apple killed the Newton.
On the plus sides, it had hand-writting recognition on the whole screen and used a single database to store all your information. This model included an expansion PCMCIA slot, which some folks used for WiFi and even cellular service.
It was revolutionary... too bad, it's excessive size/weight killed it. I wonder if the same thing will happen to the iPad...
It is going to weigh slightly more than a pound, I'll assume 20oz. (That might be a little light, but I'll cover the extra weight.) You can shipping costs from USA to Belgium at the usps.com, First Class International Mail is about $13 (USD). I'll accept PayPal for prior to mailing it.
