This Simon was the first PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) device to utilize cellular technology. Simon was introduced in 1994 by BellSouth Cellular and was designed and built by IBM. At a cost of $900, the Simon was a combination cellular phone/PDA that included an x86-compatible CPU, a fax modem, a PCMCIA Type II PC Card slot, 11 built-in programs, and a 4 1/2- by 1 1/2-inch touch-sensitive LCD screen. Simon measures 8 x 2.5 x1.5 inches and has been described as a hip G.I. Joe Walkie Talkie. Only about 2000 Simons were made, the majority being returned to BellSouth and destroyed.
