Palm Celebrates 10th Anniversary As Gadget Innovator

March 27, 2006

Hard to believe that Palm is 10 years old this year! The PCs and Macs were established as household objects, when the world was next introduced to Palm’s mobile and handheld technology in 1996.

From the company’s first product, the Palm Pilot handheld, to today’s Treo 650 and 700, the mobile manufacturer’s products have changed society’s ability to communicate and access knowledge.

According to the company, more than 34 million devices including 3 million smartphones have been sold since 1996.

Anybody remember US Robotics?

    Anybody remember Apple Newton? Wikipedia sais Newton was marketed yet from 1993 -- three years before Palm. And Newton was far ahead of Palm with all its features, and even had object-oriented programming language onboard.

    Wow, the Newton! I feel like Mr. Peabody in the "Way Back" machine. Was truly a product ahead of its time -- funny how technology and timing are so important ...
