One of the more fun gadgets shown around WWDC was the "Nuttin'".
This smooth black plastic form has the look & feel of the Newton,
only it contains a pad of note paper and has a nice clip for a
black rollerball pen on the side. Supported features include
data compression (wadding), wireless communication (throwing),
and encryption (shredding). Patent pending, I presume.
From an unrelated vendor, you can get "Newton stuff" from
some weird guys calling themselves "Nuvo Labs". They have a spiffy
logo that looks just like the Newton logo - you know, the
lightbulb over the word "Newton", over an Apple, all on a black
background with a red border.
Only thing is, their logo is a fig newton, artfully drawn in
yellow, over the word "Newton", over a circle-slash "Not!" logo.
This is available on T-shirts ($15), sweatshirts ($26), and
buttons ($2). They also sell a "Newton", but it's no bargain at $5 -
a plain note pad with some instructions glued on the front.
Joe-bob says get the button and t-shirt.
You can get more info, and maybe a copy of their flyer from:

snarfed a button.
