    Default Donna Dubinsky on the Seven Lives of Palm

    Nice piece from one of the pioneers.

    Opinion: The seven lives of Palm computing - San Jose Mercury News

    Can't help feeling like it reads a bit like a eulogy where you say everything that was wonderful about the deceased and ignore their flaws (the corporation, not the device).

    So, non-removable batteries was a innovation... huh.

    Google (ASUS) Nexus 7, wifi+data (AT&T), Android 4.2.2, stock and un-rooted (so far )
    LG Nexus 4: AT&T (Gophone), Android 4.4.2, stock and unrooted-- and probably staying that way.

    "Palm was founded in January 1992 by Jeff Hawkins, who proclaimed, "The future of personal computing is handheld computing." Few people believed him."

    As is too often the case, the 'Moses' figure doesn't actually get to live in the Promised Land, even if they get to 'see' it. Sad.
