"Palm Computing was largely the creation and vision of one man, Jeff Hawkins. Palm first brought tablet computing to consumers in the form of PDA's (though was beaten by Apple and its scions). The later, and more momentous goal, was to bring consumers to PDA's through simple and very fast user interfaces. This second goal brought us the original Pilot, and an entirely new formfactor that millions embraced. It was only until the introduction of multimedia-rich smartphones did Palm stumble, though it remains one of the leading manufacturers."
