ULTIMATE CONSOLE DATABASE SAYS: http://ultimateconsoledatabase.com/unreleased/in2it.htm
Kid's PDA thing that got the axe only a few months before it would have seen production. Also known as the "Kidcom." Has all the stuff things like this usually have, like date book, calander, etc. Intended to be an educational machine, at least 100 working units are floating around.

At least five units got out to the general public (in the Netherlands at least) as they were used in a study to see how children would respond to such devices for instant messaging and such.

Built in software included:
Address book
Match couples according to birthdays
Calculate "Biorhythms"
Alarm clock
Calculator
Draw program (one or two 'players')
Making tunes (songs)

In 1996, Philips of Netherlands designed a handheld & electronic organizer device mainly aimed to be "an educational but fun tool for girls". About a hundred of these were manufactured and given out internally at Philips for testing. Also known as Philips KidCom. About 5 of these were used in Finland in a study about what children think about using a device for something like messaging and other things.

It was a pretty complete package with credit card -like cartridges and manuals in Dutch and German. The carts on the picture are : Basics "Key", Basics "CodeX", Basics "Box", Style something, Sports & Hobbies "GameC....", 2 other Basics "Box" ones, Discovery "Trip Around...", Sports & Hobbies "???", Specials "Create a Card", Boyzone, Basics " Sketch ...", You .. "Friend F...". The manual cover reads "In2It KennenLernen Your Best Friend!" The purple box is for storing the console and the orange one for the cards. Also a green one exists.

"Box" ones are meant for storing data and the
"Key" one for personalizing/protecting your data.


The machine can work in multiple languages and has an infrared port to transfer messages between two handhelds. The monochrome screen has a touch-screen function, much like the Tiger Game.com. Also the existence of a developer kit and material is known.
