Piloting Palm

I downloaded this book Friday evening and started reading it Saturday afternoon, and could hardly put my iPAQ down for two days. I don't recall ever reading a book like this in two days. It is absolutely engrossing, both from a business and technological perspective.
I know all about the Newton, but the fact is, Palm put the PDA on the map and made it a viable product, and was quite possibly the best PDA on the market, until April 19, 2000. :-D This is a fascinating look into the mind of Jeff Hawkins and the industry he created. Bookmark the Piloting Palm web site too. They will be providing additional chapters as the Palm story continues to unfold.
Go to Peanut Press to download a copy for reading on your Pocket PC using the free Palm Reader. The screenshot above is on the Pro version of the reader, adding right margin justification and dictionary support. Otherwise, the free reader looks identical, including ClearType support.
If you are a Luddite or just want the dead tree version for your bookshelf when you're done, go to Amazon using this affiliate link. ;-)
Finally, don't post any information on the book itself in this thread. I don't want to spoil anything for those that haven't read the book yet. I have created a new thread here to discuss the book itself.
