PalmOne Seemingly Gets It Right”¦ Finally!
[Secret Weapon Labs] It’s been too long, but finally it seems PalmOne has gotten their act together and ironed out the issues and staleness with the Palm Pilot product line.

Jeff Hawking, creator of the original Palm Pilot, once said that the Zen of Palm was that there was no startup time between applications. If you needed a contact manager, you could switch INSTANTLY from the To-Do list, likewise from the Memo Manager.
