It WAS a PDA. Sure it wasn’t a PDA with a touch screen but it WAS a PDA, and it WAS the first, and trying to say it isn’t is just more of you LYING.

It was a business oriented ADDRESS BOOK, with calculator capabilities, nothing more! Without a calendar, or a reminder system, it cannot be consider to be a "personal assistant" device. there were other similar devices. It's ONLY claim to fame was its portability. . . within a year, there were a lot of portable organizers, some smaller. They were not anything like what Apple made with the Newton. . . a programable device with a touch screen that you could interface with with learnable handwriting! A "personal" digital assistant that had the capability to REMIND you of something in real time, or to warn you about an upcoming event

It was 1984 man. There’s only so much that could be done with a piece of computing the size of a deck of cards. They did it. It was a PDA. Not a fancy PDA, not a touch screen PDA, but it was still a PDA. Apple, like always, WAS NOT FIRST.
