I think the iPad Mini 5 is the closest we will get to a modern version of the Newton MessagePad. Nebo incorporates some of the handwriting gestures available in Newton but not all. What I wish I could find is a notepad app for the iPad that works like the one in Newton. WritePad also is familiar but I find it frustrating to use.
