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, a distinction present to this offered version. 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.
