I loved these devices, and they were amazing innovative in many ways. However, I’m so sorry, but this article is frankly confusing and a bit of a mess! Many of the special or distinguishing features that made various devices unique or significant are glossed over or missed entirely. The article feels like it was written by ChatGPT reading Wikipedia, and not by a human who actually used these devices and lived through this era.

I still have my NX60. Such accessories were a bluetooth module memory stick, wifi card for compact flash slot, game boy type controller, & the best folding keyboard ever made

I was a Sharp man in the 1990's with a brilliant little x86 programmable calculatorish thingimajig. Sony had so many interesting thingimajig-related or thingimajig-adjacent devices.

At various times, I had Palm and Handspring devices, but my Clie TG50 was a real thing of beauty.
