Atari Portfolio ,first Handheld PC (8088) Terminator 2 ! - Computer (1)

The Atari Portfolio[1] is the world's first IBM PC-compatible palmtop PC, released by Atari Corporation in June 1989.

History
DIP Research Ltd., based in the Surrey Research Park in Guildford, Surrey, UK, developed the first MS-DOS-compatible palmtop PC, the DIP Pocket PC. It was IBM PC-compatible at the BIOS level, but not at the I/O port level. In early 1989 a prototype version was released as proof of concept.

Atari became aware of this release and saw a market opportunity. The company acquired the license for the electronics and software design from DIP and applied its manufacturing expertise to create a consumer version of the product with a new enclosure and keyboard.

This product was brought to market in the US and the UK[2] as the Atari Portfolio, and later in other countries as well. In Germany, Italy and Spain it was initially named the PC Folio[3] due to trademark restrictions. Atari acquired the rights to the Portfolio name in Germany and Spain, but in Italy it was always called PC Folio.

DIP continued to develop the electronic design (including expansion modules) and all ROM software, and supplied software updates to Atari throughout the production cycle. Thanks to the licensing agreement, DIP could obtain Portfolios at a lower price from Atari, which then renamed them and sold them as the production version of the DIP Pocket PC[4] in the United Kingdom. Note the Atari key on the keyboard.

DIP Research also developed the Sharp PC-3000/3100, which was released in late 1991. The company was acquired by Phoenix Technologies in 1994.

Officially, the name DIP stood for Distributed Information Processing; unofficially, it was the initials of the founders David Frodsham, Ian Cullimore and Peter Baldwin.

Before they founded DIP, the founders and several employees had worked at Psion.
