Correro is an electronics manufacturer, and one of the largest in the world. Correro makes a wide range of products, but is most known for their computers. Among their products is the Correro Obscura, a laptop.
In the 990s RD, Correro introduced the first generation of the Personal Digital Familiar (PDF). It was little more than a digital assistant.
Later that decade, the company released the second generation of the PDF, the Communication-Enabled Personal Digital Familiar, commonly known as the PDF CE. This new model utilized manite to allow for local communications by two users within city limits.
The next generation of the PDF was the Long Distance Communication Personal Digital Familiar, or the PDF LDC. Advances in its communication technology allowed use of beaststones to allow for calls from much greater distances.
By 1020 RD, the fourth generation of Personal Digital Familiar, the PDF Nova, had been released. Further advancements in technology improved the capability of beaststone communication, allowing certain configurations to allow calls between users on the opposite sides of the planet. In this year, the first generation of Advanced Personal Digital Familiar, the PDF Sonata, was also released. Its internal mechanisms were slightly rearranged, allowing the unit to store several pieces of manite inside of itself, allowing combat specialists such as Guildsmen or Overseer Operatives to always have manite to power their magic arts without having to worry about misplacing individual pieces of the mineral.
Going forward, the APDF line would be a sister product to the mass-consumer model intended to be used by military and law enforcement.
Around 1024, the fifth generation of Personal Digital Familiar, and the second generation of the Advanced PDF, has been released, known as the PDF Regulus and PDF AXL, respectively. The AXL was short for "Advanced Personal Digital Familiar XL," in reference to its larger size. These models introduced basic internet access, as well as smaller software updates.
In 1028, rather than releasing the sixth generation, Correro released a major software update for the Regulus and AXL, known as the Beacon Update. It introduced an app store for both and a geotracker for the AXL that required Earth manite to function properly.
1029 saw the proper release of the sixth generation Personal Digital Familiar and third generation Advanced PDF, the PDF Altair and the PDF COMPASS. The Altair abandoned the clamshell design that PDFs had used up until that point for a singular large touchscreen. The COMPASS also shifted to a touchscreen, but retained the clamshell, with its bottom portion existing solely to store the user's manite. In addition to the touch screen, both introduced cloud capability for easier data transfer to newer models, and a built-in GPS capability for tracking apps to remove the manite requirement of the AXL.
