The 3Com Palm III — The PDA That Defined the Category
The 3Com Palm III, released in March 1998, was the PDA that transformed personal digital assistants from a niche product into a mainstream business tool. Using the elegant Palm OS and the Graffiti handwriting recognition system, it delivered weeks of battery life from two AAA batteries, instant-on operation, and a growing library of third-party applications. The IR port enabled beaming of contacts and applications between Palm devices — a genuinely useful feature that seemed remarkable in 1998. The Palm III’s combination of simplicity, reliability, and connectivity made it the dominant PDA platform of the late 1990s, selling millions of units through business channels worldwide.
