The Versafunction88, a datapad created by MicroData Technologies, existed before the Invasion of Naboo. This device could connect to other computer networks, incorporated a touch screen, and additionally included a data port, holoprojector, recording device, and hand-holds.
A specific instance of this datapad's use was observed during the Boonta Eve Classic podrace; spectators utilized their Versafunction88s to monitor the racers' advancement by connecting to video streams from different cameras and recording balloons positioned around the course.
