It's easy to forget context. So here's the 1993 ground-breaking PowerBook[1] (640×400; not yet with optional color). And the Thinkpad 700C[2], with internal 3.5in floppy drive (not on a cable)! 2G and GSM are ariving, with flip phones.[3] And available next year, the first PDA-phone combo.[4] Tech moves very slowly, but if you live long enough, there is progress.
