The Great Mobile Convergence
Do you remember 1996? It was a big year. The Motorola StarTAC and Palm Pilot were both introduced. If you are anything like me, you couldn't wait to get your hands on either of these ground-breaking devices (oh wait, millions of you are like me...you bought the first generation iPhone).
In 1996, you could carry all of your contacts, calendar items, and tasks in one pocket and your cell phone in the other (or purse). Wow. You were a mobile office, and a proud one at that.
