MIP-PY

The Geninco MIP-PY is a mobile information processor manufactured by Geninco.
== Background == 
The MIP-PY's history predates the creation of the modern Pip-Boy devices, with plans for it made as early as 2046, technical limitations of the period led to technical trade-offs that dumbed-down the prototype. Seeing as it was way too primitive, it was eventually put on the backburner for the time being.
Until 2055, when development resumed thanks to developments in the past 9 years. Chinese CRT displays had been scaled down in the past few years, and combined with Geninco's utilization of new, consumer-grade transistors allowed Geninco to make the device more compact than but as, if not more powerful than the Pip-Boy line, starting with the release of the MIP-PY 100 in 2058 up until the MIP-PY 500 in September 2077, a month before the Great War.
== Characteristics ==
The MIP-PY revolutionized mobile technology in China and to an extent the world with its release - delivering high performance in a light, compact, but very hardy frame. Its further iterations built upon the MIP-PY 100, adding quality-of-life features and improved technologies, as the MIP-PY became an indispensable tool in every-day life. Highly modifiable, it allowed custom software, from programs to operating systems, to be developed by those with technical knowledge.
== Variants ==
===MIP-PY 100===
The MIP-PY 100 the first iteration of the MIP-PY series - featuring a monochrome touch display and an in-house processor known as the MIP. It can do almost everything a regular computer can do, from productivity to playing video games. Sporting a basic sonar and a datalink connecion system, these allowed it to download map data on the fly and send messages to other MIP-PY wearers. It was the most popular model, selling over 100 million units.
====MIP-PY 100S/150====
The MIP-PY 100S/150 models were the initial improvements upon the 100. More compact, it utilized a new processor as well as a more advanced display. It also had improved sonar and GPS capabilities, allowing for more accurate map data to be given to the wearer.
===MIP-PY 200===
The MIP-PY 200 were seen as a modest step-up from the MIP-PY 100. Released along with the 100S/150, it was significantly more compact thanks to advancements in transistor technology. It has an improved sonar system and basic GPS capabilities, which granted the wearer more accurate map data. It was also the first MIP-PY to feature OTL (Over-the-Link) updates, allowing its OS to be upgraded over a wired datalink connection.
It is capable of tracking the wearer's status and can also scan the wearer's inventory, providing a list to the wearer. In addition, the device features a FM radio module, Geiger counter, a holo-compass which can track pinned locations and nearby MIP-PY wearers.
===MIP-PY 500===
The MIP-PY 500 resolved the quality of life issues the previous MIP-PY iterations had. The MIP-PY 500 offered more customization, from the lesser-expensive monochrome screen to the new color touch display, and improved capabilities thanks to the new MIP i4 processor and 32KB of RAM.
Improving upon the wearer-oriented features of the 200, the 500 featured a new MediScan system - which provided a rundown on the wearer status - from radiation levels and heart rate to diseases and current conditions. Its inventory list organization was also improved - the user able to organize their items into categories, and paired with the MIP-PACK, organized the physical items themselves to the wearer's desires.
The MIP-PY 500 also marked an increase in price thanks to inflation and costs - with the 500 costing 2 times more than the 200.
===MIL-MIP===
The MIL-MIP is a unique MIP-PY model worn by pre-War military personnel. Bulkier and more rugged than its civilian counterpart, the MIL-MIP was unique in that it was divided into individual modules which could be replaced at a moment's notice. The MIL-MIP featured an assisted targeting system as well as an improved compass which had the capability to track enemies.
===MEGA MIP-PY===
The MEGA MIP-PY is a unique MIP-PY model worn by Chinese government officials and the upper classes of Chinese society. Modular like the MIL-MIP, it was able to do more advanced productivity tasks as well as having an integrated automated personality which guided the wearer. It was sold in relatively-low amounts, with the MEGA MIP-PY being highly sought after post-War.
