Data pad

Basically a handheld computer, the Data Pad is a piece of technology used by the UNSC. Data pads store information, files, pictures, and sounds. They are extremely similar to the "Padd" that appears commonly in the Star Trek universe, or the datapad from Star Wars. It seems to have stemmed from today's PDAs.

Dr. Catherine Halsey kept a pad of information with her about the Spartan candidates as she began to research them. She also appeared to have this technology on her glasses, as she could pull up and read files on them.
