Description

Elusive 'clear' version of the Apple Newton MessagePad 110

Sought-after ‘clear’ version of the Apple Newton MessagePad 110, Part No. H0141LL/A, Serial No. IV4300KB1GQ, complete with its original box. The box includes the ‘clear’ Newton MessagePad 110 with pen, Newton MessagePad Handbook, Newton MessagePad 110 Setup and Handwriting Guide, NewtonMail booklet, Newton VHS tape, and other related brochures. Released in March 1994, the MessagePad 110 features a 20 MHz ARM 610 processor, 4 MB of ROM, 1.0 MB of SRAM (480k usable), and innovative infrared-beaming messaging capabilities.

This clear edition of the Apple Newton MessagePad 110 was given to Apple developers at a conference in 1994. Purportedly, two versions of the clear MessagePad 110s were distributed: one had a ‘quick tips’ label affixed to the inside of the translucent cover, and the other version had a grid of rectangular shapes molded into the cover, as seen in this example. Per Maurice Sharp, a DTS Engineer at Apple, there were ‘a few different types of clear 110's produced (in fact of any device),’ which consisted of DVT, PVT, and ‘pre-prod/concept’ versions. It’s believed that less than 400 of these clear MessagePad 110s were produced.
