Palm believes the success of its open operating system is based on the company ability to define specific objectives and maintain the courage to march to the beat of its own drum. At the center is its firm belief that PCs are designed for information creation, while handheld devices are designed for mobile access and management of information. From the beginning, the idea of cramming an entire PC into a pocket-size device seemed unnecessarily fraught with problems.

In this space, Palm has developed a number of enterprise-specific solutions, such as Palm HotSync [R] Server and Palm [TM] Ethernet Cradle -- building blocks to helping IT professionals manage massive deployments of Palm Powered [TM] devices. To consumers and enterprise users alike, Palm Powered handheld computers offer a lightweight and elegant form and intuitive software to retrieve information the fastest, most efficient way possible.
