from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
BN-40A

The Business Navigator is a PDA from the manufacturer Casio .

The Business Navigator (BN) is a high-end PDA that is equipped with an extensive PIM suite. The operating system contains a calendar, an address book, an account manager, a spreadsheet, a world clock and a mail and fax program. However, an optional modem (BW-200) is required to operate the mail / fax program. The BN series was in competition with the PDAs from the manufacturer Psion , which the design was based on. However, the operating system of the BN cannot be expanded with its own applications, which is why it was not as popular as its successor models, the touchscreen-based pocket viewers .
