This week, Brett Burney and I released a special episode of the In the News podcast, and it is one of my all-time favorite episodes. The episode is devoted to our history of using mobile technology. We talk about Sharp organizers, various devices made by Palm and Handspring, BlackBerries, Casio devices, and many more. We start in the 1980s when the term Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) had not been invented yet and come all the way until 2008 when Brett and I purchased our first iPhones.
If you lived through this time as well, you will enjoy our walk down memory lane. On the other hand, if the world of mobile devices before the iPhone doesn’t mean much to you, I think you will be fascinated by the features and limitations of the devices that we used to use.
