After decades of false starts, is America finally ready for true handheld wireless? Yes, says Jeff Hawkins, the father of handheld computing - if wireless is really ready to deliver what busy, connected people want: the ability to talk, organize, and connect. Hawkins offers his insider's perspective on the unfulfilled promises and failed technologies that have kept wireless from establishing a global presence. And, with the recent introduction of Handspring's new treo (that combines cell phone, Internet access, and personal organizing capabilities), the visionary Hawkins makes the case that a new generation of easy-to-use, all-in-one products heralds a breakthrough in our acceptance of handheld personal communications.
