I want a replacement for my Newton MessagePad.

- I need to be able to take notes and make sketches, which can then transfer to my PC w/ curves as curves, lines as lines, shapes as shapes &c., and the ability to recognize writing to text
- I want the ability to manipulate words and numbers and perform calculations --- programmability would be nice as well
- agree w/ lev that daily organizer / planner features are essential
- good support for reference materials (esp. a thesaurus) would be good as well

Some facility for multi-tasking so that one can consult a reference while working on something else would be an obvious add-on.

All of the above is why I carry around a Fujitsu Stylistic, but while the colour and the large screen is nice, I want a unit which will fit into a pocket (The Sony PRS-505 is the perfect size for me and fits into pockets in all of my favourite shirts and pants) and not be tethered to a wall outlet (the Stylistic, w/ the long life battery won't quite make it through an entire day).
