Piloting Palm (by Andrea Butter & David Pogue)
| Great book. Get it.
It's all about how Palm and Handspring was formed and the lives of the people behind the whole success storey; Jeff Hawkins & Donna Dubinsky.
It also accounts Microsoft failures (haha..) and their quest to create the now fairly successful Pocket PC
