The Edeltian Instruments SixtyFour PenWorks is a Tablet PC with PDA Features and Capabilities made by Edeltian Instruments on Behalf of Newton Manx, and NEC for the Eastern Siberian Market. It is being Ultimately Advertised to Businesses and Schools, which it has been Used in Presentations, Writing, Drawing Art Programs and even in Classes. Since it is a Direct Answer to Apple's MessagePad Series based on Newton OS, PK-GEOS has been Suddenly Updated to Support Stylus Control and to Advertise it directly not just Businesses and Schools, but also to the Consumer Market.
Since it has been Success in the Education and Business Market, Edeltian Instruments failed to keep up SixtyFour PenWorks in the Consumer Market and it is Confirmed as a Commercial Failure due to the Price since the Price could be only Accepted by Businesses and Schools, and it has been Pulled out of Shelves by January 1995. In Schools, it is ultimately Replacing the SixtyFour MobiNote and Aging CalcuNOTE in Classes that has been Used Previously and Teachers Praised the Durability and Ease of Use on this Tablet PC. It is still being Manufactured and Sold until December 1999 after Legal Pressure from Apple.
However, Not just the SixtyFour PenWorks are being Popular in Schools and Businesses, it was also Popular in the Hospitals where Doctors and Nurses are Writing in their Tablets about their Patients and even Prescriptions, which it has been Notably Used in Saint Luke's Medical Center Indo City in Saint-Mary's, Indo City and then in Fatima University Medical Center in Fatima City. Alongside Teachers, Students and Office Workers praised the Technology and Durability of the Tablet, but also by Doctors and Nurses. It's Competitors are Cosmo's StatioWorkPen that was Popular for Businesses and Artists and Lěpočí's MagicNote that was Popular in Libraries and Some Schools, in which, StatioWorkPen is Compatible with all StatioWorkPen except some Software that need Additional Hardware, same for the MagicNote that was Compatible with OffiSystem Software.
