Apple eMate 300

Introduced: March 1997
Terminated: February 1998

Description

The Apple eMate 300 was a PDA based on the Newton.  It ran an ARM 710a RISC processor at 25Mhz and had 8Mb of ROM and 3Mb of RAM.  It had a 480 x 320 grayscale screen that was backlight and the folding clamshell style case contained a keyboard.  A stylus could also be used the same way it was used on a Newton.

History

The Apple eMate was a strange hybrid.  Although it ran the Newton operating system, it looked more like a PowerBook.  The durable plastic translucent case and rounded clamshell design, initially intended for heavy use in the classroom, would have great impact on Apple’s design future.  It even had a small handle that would be emulated in later designs.

The eMate 300 was sold exclusively to educational markets.
