Only the emate I tore into had in fact taken a bite out of it's screen cable already. It's still in pieces in a box, waiting for a new cable. I've also endured repairs on 100 series newtons, which involve desoldering bits and pieces to get into, and 2000 series, which mysteriously don't. I'd still take any of those over getting into a camcorder though. Did you get a manual with your emate? My 2100 came with one, and despite what you'd expect, it wasn't useful purely for selling on ebay once the unit became collectable. It explained such things as scribbling over text, making at least 4 non overlapping motions, to erase a piece of text. And how you can tap-tap-and-drag to copy a piece of text, and dragging that text to the side of the screen will put it into a clipboard of sorts. For what it’s worth, I’ve gone through it as well.
