Piloting Palm by Andrea Butter
This is the definitive story on the birth of the handheld industry, PalmPilot, and Handspring, authored by a Palm insider and a New York Times columnist with full, exclusive access to all of the key Palm players, including Jeff Hawkins and Donna Dubinsky.
"The story of the two companies [Palm and Handspring] is well told..If you like Silicon Valley start–up tales or Palm hand–helds (and I must admit I am addicted to both) you will enjoy this lively account." (Financial Times, January 31, 2001)
"It is told well, by Andrea Butter, Palm′s former vice–president for marketing, and tech journalist David Pogue. Much of the tale is well–known to followers of the industry, but Pogue and Butter add welcome detail." (Business Week, March 11, 2002)
"Butter and Pogue′s thorough reporting follows every turn without losing track of the characters who make the story so readable." (The New York Times Book Review, April 7, 2002)
"...entertaining and readable. I′d recommend it to not only fellow Palm enthusiasts, but to anyone who′s interested in either Silicon Valley specifically or business start–up′s in general." (Supply Management, 14 March 2002)
"...rather excellent book...a great book..." (M2 Communications, 26 April 2002)
"...entertainingly recounted..an enjoyable read..."(Information Age, May 2002)
