The Ericsson MC16 — Mobile Computing Pioneer

The Ericsson MC16 was a mobile computing device from Ericsson — the Swedish telecommunications company that was one of the pioneers of combining mobile communications with portable computing in the 1990s. Ericsson’s expertise in mobile communications gave it a natural interest in converging computing and connectivity in portable devices. Sweden’s Ericsson had been at the forefront of mobile telephony since the analogue era, and its computing products reflected the company’s understanding that mobile communication and portable computing were converging toward a common device — anticipating the smartphone by years.
