The palmtop computer, also known as a personal digital assistant (PDA), was not invented by a single individual. The concept of a portable electronic device for personal organization and productivity dates back to the 1980s, with early models like the Psion Organizer and Apple Newton paving the way for later devices. Companies like Palm, Inc., with their PalmPilot series, and Hewlett-Packard, with their iPAQ line, were instrumental in popularizing and advancing the technology. The term "palmtop" is more of a general descriptor for these handheld computing devices rather than a specific invention by a single person.
