The Magic Link was a Personal Intelligent Communicator marketed by Sony from 1994,[1] based on General Magic's Magic Cap operating system. The Magic Link PIC-1000[2] was brought to market by Jerry Fiala Sr at Sony. The "Link" part of the name refers to the device's ability to send and receive data over a modem.[3]
A competing product to the Magic Link was the Motorola Envoy. In 1995, the Magic Link won the PC World World Class Award.[4] Magic Link PIC-2000 was released in 1996.[5]
