My pocket / palm computer - HP iPAQ circa 2005.
HP iPAQ x11-21204 - to call it by its full name [edit] or may be it is not its name, may be it is hx2000 or something.
Before the iphone and ipad there was the iPAQ... also it was before twitter or even youtube really in 2005.

As you can see, its OS software dates back to 1.01.04.
It has a chargeable battery like a mobile phone.
Home screen. The black button on top is ON/OFF, the buttons on the lower end - navigation.
It has a stylus too... with which you poke at the screen.
The Start menu. It looks packed with programs.
Some games -- both pre-installed (bubble breaker and solitaire) and those I installed myself (two chess programs).
In the end, the only thing I used it for (and still use occasionally) is to play chess vs Pocket Fritz 2. And the Fritz means business, make no mistake (literally).
The black's (computer) predictable (nothing fancy) reply to the white's e2e4 (me).
Its HP holder / pouch to keep it in.
The date is still May 9, 2005! Memories...
But it still works ok. Just takes some time to boot after lengthy non-use (years), and 9 year-old battery still charges ok.
