Announced in March 1994, The NMP 100's hardware was virtually identical to that of the original NMP. It included a new version of the Newton OS, however, which improved the handwriting-recognition somewhat and fixed a number of bugs. The price was also dropped to $499. The NMP 100 was discontinued in August 1995.
