Palm and HandSpring
are rivals ! Jeff Hawkins and Donna Dubinsky was the founder of both of them! :O
... interesting right......... read on:
....................Soon after Palm Computing�s fledgling success,
networking giant 3Com Corporation bought US Robotics, effectively gaining Palm
in the deal. Hawkins and several other executives at Palm were concerned about
their absorption into 3Com and lobbied for 3Com to spin off the Palm division as
a separate company. As it became clear that 3Com was unwilling to do this,
Hawkins and his executives left to start their own venture, called
Handspring.
After a year�s worth of hard work producing
their new handheld device, Hawkins would receive shocking news. The day before
the announcement of the new Handspring Visor, 3Com announced that Palm Computing
would be spun off as a separate company. Hawkins�s two start-ups, Palm and
Handspring, would compete directly with one another in the same
market.................
