Johnson.  Today, the PDB is an Information Technology (IT) product co-ordinated by the Office Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) and the CIA's Directorate of Intelligence (DI).   Today's PDB's appear on Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs).  President Obama requested his PDB be delivered to him via tablet computer.  "State of Affairs" airs Monday's at 10:00 p.m. on NBC.  See whole story, www.entertainmenttonight.com.
