According to atari-portfolio.co.uk, DIP designed the world’s first IBM compatible pocket computer, the Pocket PC, sold under license by Atari as the Portfolio. Ideal for improving personal productivity it is a cost-effective solution for those needing the portability of a pocket computer.
It is extremely versatile and there is a comprehensive range of third party software packages for sales forces, engineers, solicitors, financial consultants and other mobile professionals. A wide range of hardware peripherals is also available.
The Pocket PC weighs less than one pound, is the size of a video cassette and, in typical use, runs for over six weeks on a set of batteries.
My pocket PC came in a leather carry case with manual and a 32kb RAM card.
How interesting that it has an ‘Atari’ button, but isn’t the Atari branded version.
I have a Portfolio with some sort of Compact Flash modification that lets me use a CF card instead of their proprietary memory cards.
I have one of these D I P pc,s , complete in its case, all accessories, has it any practical uses today ?
