This early PDA device or Pocket PC (Personal Computer), released in 1999, is part of a collection donated by a Microsoft employee who worked at the software company from 1999 to 2004. Microsoft would develop the software and prototype devices and then work with a manufacturing company, like Hewlett Packard, to build the PDA. The Jornada 420 used a Microsoft Windows CE operating system and was their first Pocket PC with a color screen. It had full email capabilities and a Motorola pager module as well.
