PocketMail

PocketMail is a very small and inexpensive mobile computer, with a built in acoustic coupler.

Although actually a computer, its main function is E-mail. Its main advantages are that it is simple, and that it works with any phone, even outside the United States.

A low-cost personal digital assistant (PDA) with an inbuilt acoustic coupler which allows users to send and receive E-mail using a normal telephone, thus allowing use outside of mobile phone range, or just without the need to be signed up with a mobile telephony provider.

Although still in use, popularity of the PocketMail peaked around 2000.

In Australia, the company known as "Pocketmail" has since stopped marketing the pocketmail technology, and now owns uranium mining prospects in Queensland and South Australia.
