Handspring ships one millionth Visor
Handspring Inc. announced Wednesday it shipped its one millionth Visor PDA. To celebrate, the company is going to offer up the unit, a Visor Prism, and the first hotly anticipated VisorPhone module on eBay.
The Visor Prism and VisorPhone are signed by Handspring Chief Product Officer Jeff Hawkins, who is often referred to as the father of the PDA for inventing the PalmPilot in 1994. All procedes of the auction will go to benefit the Special Olympics of Northern California. Read more on the story, at ZDNet.

Father of the PDA?
It's absolutely true that he designed an inexpensive, very usuable machine that brought great functionality and large sales, but does no one recall the Newton? Heck, there were plenty of versions of the Sharp organizers that would easily fit under the PDA umbrella.
Calling Hawkins the father of the PDA is like saying e-Machines is the father of the computer.

The Newton was a PDA, but it didn't capture the market share because it missed the important points of a successful PDA. Websters: PDA (n): Personal Digital Asasistant. see "PalmPilot"
