The concept of smartphones have been around long before Apple unveiled the iPhone and took the concept mainstream. If you recall, back in the day, there were people who were already using PDA devices that you could almost consider as the precursor to smartphones, but it seems that Nintendo could have beaten companies like Apple to the punch.
According to Liam Robertson, a video game historian, researcher, and journalist, he has uncovered a Nintendo ad from the 1990s that revealed that the company was working on an addon accessory for the Game Boy Color. This accessory was known as the PageBoy and when used with the Game Boy Color, would have given it smartphone-like capabilities.
We’re talking about connection to the internet where users could read the news, magazines, get weather reports, watch live television, and even contact and message other PageBoy owners. The tech powering it would have been the same as pager systems, which is why the company opted to call it the PageBoy.
However, the company stopped short of launching it publicly because according to Robertson, the communications tech behind the PageBoy was only used in certain parts of the world, and Nintendo wanted a device that would work anywhere in the world, not just select markets, which is why it was canned.
Had it been launched, Nintendo could have easily been one of the first, if not the first, companies to launch a smartphone.

We’re sure that most of us at some point in time have experienced a hard drive failure, usually at the most inopportune moment when we need to submit in our work or if we’ve spent hours on an edit, only for it to pretty much all disappear once the drive crashes.
However, that’s kind of like playing the lottery because sometimes, you won’t know when this will happen. In some cases, you might be able to spot some warning signs where your computer gives you error messages, but sometimes it can come out of the blue. However, NAS manufacturer QNAP thinks they might have a solution in the form of artificial intelligence.
The company has created a tool called the DA Drive Analyzer and basically what it does is it uses AI to predict when a NAS HDD might crash. The AI is taught to look out for signs using historical data from millions of drives, meaning that it will learn what caused hard drives to crash and will then look out for those signs on your drive.
If this sounds familiar, it is because Google is also interested in this tech. The company announced earlier this year that in a partnership with Seagate, they are developing a machine learning model that will be able to predict hard drive failure.
