Palm Computing was able to incorporate desktop compatibility into the PalmPilot™, a big breakthrough for this category.

Similar hand-helds have been around for over 10 years now, but unlike its predecessors, the PalmPilot (or Palm) allows you to work either from the Palm's interface or from the PC desktop. This allows all lengthy data entry to be performed on the PC, with only slight updates and confirmations necessary on the Palm. Thus, in combination with the Palm Desktop or another Personal Information Manager (PIM), the Palm frees you from your desktop or a static, paper version of your agenda.
