👉 The Palm Project, founded by Steve Beasley in 1993, aimed to create affordable and innovative mobile computing solutions, particularly focusing on the Palm OS, a versatile operating system designed for personal digital assistants (PDAs) and mobile devices. The project sought to democratize technology by making computing accessible to a broader audience, especially in emerging markets. It introduced the Palm Pilot, one of the first successful PDAs, which combined a touchscreen, memory storage, and a web browser, setting new standards for mobile productivity. The Palm Project also explored other devices like the Palm MediaPad and the Palm Treo, emphasizing user-friendly interfaces and innovative features to bridge the digital divide.
