==History==
Prior to the introduction of the term "[[Personal digital assistant]]" ("PDA") by Apple in 1992, handheld personal organizers such as the [[Psion Organiser]]  and the [[Sharp Wizard]] were also referred to as "PIMs".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://memex.org/thereturnofthepda.html |title=The Return of the PDA |publisher=Marketing Computers |website=memex.org|date=February 1995}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A2284229 |title=History of the Personal Data Assistant (PDA) |work=BBC|publisher=H2G2 |date=March 31, 2004 |access-date=January 18, 2014}}</ref>

The time management and communications functions of PIMs largely migrated from PDAs to smartphones, with  Apple, RIM (Research In Motion, now [[BlackBerry (company)|BlackBerry]]), and others all manufacturing smartphones that offer most of the functions of earlier PDAs.
