PIP-Pad

The RobCo PIP-Pad (PIP stands for Personal Information Processor) is an experimental tablet-sized electronic device manufactured by RobCo Industries as an offshoot of the Pip-Boy series, mainly for reading text and running high-resolution graphics.

A cache of these devices was discovered after the Great War in an old RobCo warehouse. There are some known bugs with the text processor, and users may occasionally see some strange characters.

The Armageddon Rag magazine started issuing electronic versions readable by the PIP-Pads with its 3rd issue.

Appearances
PIP-Pad is the interface of the Armageddon Rag Fallout Online newspaper, and is likely to appear also in the game itself.

Behind the scenes
The PIP-Pad is almost certainly a parody of the real life iPad made by Apple.
