Palm: The inside Story of Palm, Handspring, and the Birth of the
Billion-Dollar Handheld Industry
In this fast-paced and well-written book, Andrea Butter, a former
marketing executive at Palm, and David Pogue, a highly respected computer
science author, narrate the history of the handheld device from its birth
in Silicon Valley to its present-day status as one of the essentials of
life. The Palm story makes for a compelling look at how business operates;
one of the virtues of the book is that the authors place you inside
