Re: [NTLK] History of the PDA

I have updated the article with some interesting, older tablets from Apple circa 1979.

Also, having done even more research, I found that there were some Tablets in the late 50s (Styalator - 1957, first Tablet with handwriting recognition, or was there one before this?).

Thanks.
