Jeremy DePauw says he is really interested in Journalists' use over time. Am I the only one old enuf to remember the TRS-80 from Radio Shack, known as the Trash-80. It had a screen of only a few lines, but a full keyboard, and was small and lite to carry. Smaller than a current ultra-portable. All 4 of my journalist friends of those days (mid-1990s?) carried them. I'm sure a little surfing will find more.
