Handheld Organizer Becomes a Sleek Accessory
Redesigning a utilitarian tool to set it apart from imitators
Update the industry-defining Palm Pilot.
A sleek, elegant device that’s half the thickness of the original.
In updating the popular and industry-defining PalmPilot, Palm Computing wanted to reposition the next-generation Palm V as a high-design accessory to set it apart from its many imitators.
Together with IDEO, it crafted a sleek, elegant device, half the thickness of the original in an anodized aluminum housing. Incorporating an internal lithium-ion battery that recharges in the dock, the side rails act as an open architecture to provide attachment for a variety of styluses, cases, and other add-ons.
