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.
