The EO, officially named the AT&T EO Personal Communicator, is an early commercial tablet computer that was created by Eo Inc. and GO Corporation (later acquired by AT&T Corporation), and released in April 1993.[1] It is similar to a large personal digital assistant with wireless communications,[2] and competed against the Apple Newton.
The unit was produced in conjunction with David Kelley Design, frog design, and the Matsushita, Olivetti and Marubeni corporations.
In 2012, PC Magazine called the AT&T EO 440, "the first true phablet".[3]
