Palm Pilot 10 Year Anniversary



It was exactly ten years ago, back in March 1996, when Palm Computing (then a division of U.S. Robotics, later a division of 3Com, and finally a standalone corporation) introduced the very first Palm handhelds: the Pilot 1000 and Pilot 5000. Digged out from a 1996 product advertisement:

"The Pilot connected organizer is a handheld extension of your PC, rather than a miniaturized PC running a stripped-down version of a PC-style operating system. U.S. Robotics Palm Computing subsidiary engineered Pilot to leverage the capabilities already on your desktop, without forcing you to split information between a handheld and a full-size device."
