The original creator of the Palm Pilot was Jeff Hawkins

In 1988, he came up with his first rendition of PalmPrint and licensed it to GriD, which made the GriD Pad

He worked for Intel and studied brain-mapping

The original use was for handwriting recognition

Jeff Hawkins carried around a small wooden block the size of the PalmPilot for a week to test it out

The original had flash memory and was called a Palm Taxi

The last handheld was the Palm Tungsten T3, but the last one ever was a Palm Pre 2

The Palm Pre 2 was practically a phone, having a slideable keyboard, multi-touchscreen, and even Bluetooth

It was planned to release in late 2010 and was originally fractured in France

It couldn’t keep up with quickly advancing technology and got beaten by the early phones

It only succeeded because it was a small and portable digital notepad before phones

Many companies promoted their products more than PalmPilot and started to lose business because of it

PalmPilot IIIxe was considered the best-selling PalmPilot model

This PalmPilot is a digital personal assistant to keep notes and dates

The device had a serial port at the bottom and connecting to the users computer/desktop and could support cameras
