A Motorola Envoy

The Motorola Envoy Personal Wireless Communicator was a personal digital assistant initially slated for released by Motorola in summer 1994[1] but delayed and then available for public sale in February, 1995.[2] It was built to run General Magic's Magic CAP operating system, and it combined wireless, telephone, and infrared modems in a single PDA package. Andy Rubin led development of the Motorola Envoy.[3]

Motorola reused the name for multiple products.[4] It is also a UHF tone and vibrate paging receiver produced in the mid-1980s that responded to two-tone sequential encoding, including GE type 99, Quick Call II & 1+1, REACH* and 5-Tone Sequential.
