|
An early PDA developed by Apple Computer and sold from 1993 to 1998. It was based on the [ARM processor]? from [Advanced Risc Machines]?, and featured handwriting recognition. It was unsuccessful in the marketplace: critics pointed at its high price and complicated desktop connectivity, both problems solved soon after with the [Palm Pilot]?. |

Unfortunately, the marketing campaign trumpeted the handwriting recognition, which was poor in the initial versions. Garry Trudeau ridiculed it in a series of episodes of his popular comic, Doonesbury. |
