Launched in 2000, the Cybiko was a youth oriented hand held computer and organizer. It was not a cell phone, but rather a two way radio device that incorporated text messaging capabilities. Marketed as a "PDA for kids", it was unique in the fact that its functionality was limited to a maximum range of .19 miles. After only two generations of the device, it was discontinued, but has had sporadic revival attempts made by the manufacturing company, Cybiko, Inc.

Reviews
"The Cybiko from Cybiko, Inc. is a crossbreed between a PDA, a Gameboy, a walkie-talkie and a mini keyboard. It looks like a little strange at the first encounter, but you’ll get used to the design pretty soon."
