Palm, which revolutionized the PDA market, was basically laid to rest today. HP bought Palm not long ago and today announced that it was shuttering WebOS, the OS that was the primary spoils of the Palm takeover.
I had a Palm PDA and also a Treo. Frankly, I never really cared for either product. The Palm script never made sense to me. That said, I think Palm did a lot for the adoption of PDA technologies and the convergence of PDAs with cell phones, thus creating the now-ubiquitous smartphone. So...to this, I say, fare thee well, Palm and Palm/WebOS.
What about you? Did you ever have a Palm product?

Here We Go Again...
I'm trying to start blogging again. We've started an initiative at work to build a corporate blog, about which I am very excited, but I realized that I needed to drink some Kool-Aid and get back to blogging.
Here's a question: what did people do in the elevator before smartphones? It seems to be completely Pavlovian...the elevator doors close, and people flip open their smartphones. I was in the elevator with our CEO yesterday and we both did this at the same time. Clearly this means I'm upper management material, but what else does it say about our society that it's so commonplace?
