With smartphones and tabets are everywhere, and other portable devices on the rise, it’s easy for everyone to forget that Palm, Inc. was the company that made it all happen.
Palm, Inc. Palm Inc., was a smartphone and handheld computing product ma nu fact u rer headq ua r tered i n Su n ny va le, Ca l i for n ia, USA. The company was founded by Jeff Hawkins, Donna Dubinsky and Ed Colligan. The company used to be a leading manufacturer of handheld comput i ng dev ices. It led t he ma rket for Persona l Dig ita l Assista nts (PDAs) a nd adapted its of fer i ngs to be ever more handy. It was the device that established the basic form factor that later smartphones would use. We introduced ourselves in the business of enhancing consumer’s product iv it y t h rough ou r dev ices. A ha nd held computer t hat focused on ma nag i ng a nd accessi ng i n for mat ions. Th is user experience required a set of guiding principles: be simple, wearable and connected. A commitment to these principles made Palm’s products ideal for customers and developers at that time.
