Palmistry: With a singular vision, Palm rose from the battleground of failed handheld devices to capture the pocket-computer market

Article Abstract:

The Palmpilot was introduced in 1996 and was the simplest electronic organizer. The Palo Alto Design Group worked on the PalmPilot after striking a deal with Palm Computing group. Palm was later sold to US Robotics, and the PalmPilot exceeded all market expectations. The IDEO Product Development Group was hired to developed the next-generation Pilot, the Palm V which has a thickness of just 0.4 inches and weight of only four ounces. US Robotics was purchased by 3Com in 1997, and the Palm VII, a wireless PDA was introduced.

Not a poultry affair

Article Abstract:

The 1997 American Institute of Graphic Arts Jambalaya conference was held in New Orleans. John Hockenberry served as moderator of the conference while art historian Barbara Maria Stafford presented a paper on the social aspects of images. Four short films were also shown during the morning events which was organized by program director Janet Abrams. However, the event lacked a program schedule and conference guides which created confusion among the attendees.
