In Pictures: A Palm technology timeline

From the Pilot to the Pre, a look at Palm's hits and misses

Ah, the heady days of the late 1990s, when every dot-com stock was a guaranteed winner and when every day trader worth his salt carried around a Palm Pilot personal to keep track of all their information. Before the iPhone and before the BlackBerry, the Palm Pilot was the hottest game in town for business professionals who wanted portable devices capable of connecting to the Web. Although Palm's fortunes have fallen drastically since its heyday in the late '90s, the company has continued to release an intriguing array of devices that capture the market's attention, if not its dollars. In this slideshow we'll trace the evolution of Palm's products throughout the years from its first PDA to its latest smartphone.
