Looks like a big Newton with reflective display (no backlighting). If that's the case, It is good that it is solar (light) powered, because you have to have external light to see it. Actually, it looks a lot like my Newton eMate (touchscreen)-- and keeping that screen tweaked for contrast and visibility is a challenge.

Hey -- I was glad to get my PowerBook 160 -- which has a similar-looking monochromatic screen,

and I expect folks who've never had a computer will be overoyed to get their hands on this one...

But, it is decades and light-years from being an iPad -- or any sort of competitor...
