This brings back memories! I had the PalmPilot and the Psion 5 back then, and after that a HP41CV which was not shown here maybe because of the form factor, but it has alphanumeric and was fully programmable complete with tape strip storage and a printer.
One forgets now that back then that cassette tape was the standard for storage, and I remember my Sinclair ZX81 used cassette tapes too. Glad he mentioned the Tandy brand as yes elsewhere we had the Sharp and a good friend of mine used one of those for his engineering studies in the mid-1980's.
The late 1980's was really the advent of proper pocket organisers and 'computers' that all synced via cradles or docking stations to your desktop computer.
