Sharp PC-E500S pocket computer
A pocket computer is a small calculator-sized handheld computer programmable in BASIC. This specific category of computers existed primarily in the 1980s. Manufacturers included Sharp, Casio, Tandy/Radio Shack (Selling Casio and Sharp models under their own TRS line), as well as Hewlett-Packard and many more.
Though not identical in principle, personal digital assistants, handheld PCs, and calculators serve approximately the same functions as the old pocket computers, generally with significantly more computing power in a package the same size or smaller.
