electronic organizer

Pocket scheduling device

An electronic organizer is a handheld digital device for managing personal information—appointments, contacts, notes, and tasks.

Popular in the 1990s before smartphones absorbed their functions, these pocket-sized gadgets bridged the gap between paper planners and modern mobile devices: I kept all my phone numbers in an electronic organizer.
