The eMate 300 was designed specifically for the education market and released in March 1997. The device ran NewtonOS and featured a 25 MHz ARM 710a processor, 8 MB of ROM, 3 MB of RAM (1MB of DRAM+2 MB of Flash Memory for user storage), a PCMCIA slot, IrDA-beaming capabilities, and a proprietary Newton InterConnect port.
The eMate 300 design was unique for the time with a translucent aquamarine and black “clamshell” case with a 480×320 16-shade grayscale backlit LCD display. It included a stylus and a built-in keyboard (and did not support a mouse).
This eMate lapel pin is a gold representation of the device and features dark teal enamel to represent the LCD screen. The pin design depicts the eMate with the lid open to show the keyboard and stylus. The tiny screen representation includes an Apple logo and the Newton “lightbulb” logo.
The back of the lapel pin uses a protruding perpendicular pin with a butterfly clutch to secure the pin to clothing. The gold back surface has a textured grid pattern and the word CHINA.
The pin measures approximately 22 mm x 19 mm.
