I've got something a bit different for y'all today!

An Apple Newton MessagePad 130!

This model of mobile history has just blew past it's 20 birthday and it'd like to go to a new home here before I consider eBay.
(Being released March 1996, that puts it at odds with the (Palm) Pilot 1000 and 5000. Although I cannot confirm when exactly during the 130's couple-year run this specific model was manufactured.)

Price: $57 OBO

Condition: It's in good condition! Check out the photos!

Includes:
  • The handheld itself
  • Original stylus
  • Original wall adapter (batteries not included, the backup CR2032 needs replacing too)

Item Location: Virginia

Shipping Details: USPS Priority, tracking number included

Payment Options: PayPal Gift

I'm a huge Palm OS dork myself. :)
I remember nerding out when I saw my 4th grade teacher had a Visor.

They were the bomb-diggety for their time. I remember wanting to get the Springboard Cellular pack and my wife just giving me "The Look". Eventually moved to Visor Prism (color!), Sony Clie, then my first brush with a smartphone, the Treo 650 (then 750, Centro). Loved what Palm was back in the day, was so sad to see them fall by the wayside. Same with BlackBerry (my second love after Palm). Fortunately I don't think Apple is going anywhere so third time must be the charm!

Sorry to derail your thread, if I had the cash I'd pick this up just for kicks!

I can remember seeing my first one at a Comp USA store.
I was impressed.
What was the original price when it was introduced.?
Anyone remember?

Everyone who came forward intending to buy it ghosted. Weird huh?

Well either way this is no longer available. Mods please close and file away.
