Reminds me of my HCD class by Ms.Rathi!

This day in 2000: Palm Inc. IPO.

Stock soared, raising the company valuation to $50B+.

And it all started with Jeff Hawkins testing the idea with wood+paper prototype (I call it a Pinocchio pretotype).

The Palm Pilot was The Right It!

Thx @JonErlichman for original tweet.

[Brian P. Katimbo @Bpkatimbo]

The background story to developing the palm is still one of the best examples of using HCD for product development.

[Jon Erlichman @JonErlichman]

On this day in 2000: Palm’s IPO values the company at $53 billion.
