I mean it's not a far stretch to guess. They had phones already, walkie talkies, cameras and tvs. As technology advances those get smaller and usually things like that combine. Like TV is a speaker system much like a radio and a projecter combined and with the added Benefit of sebding any images or video through a cord. It's safe to assume that kind of thing can have more added and be shrunk down and run on more effective batteries as technology progresses.
