Gather round, children, and let grandpa tell you about the olden days that we called the 90s. Times were dark, then. We didn’t have smartphones. Instead we had PDAs — personal digital assistants. The leader of the field was a company called Palm, and their operating system was a little thing called PalmOS.<\/p>\n
One of the major components of Palm’s success was their handwritten input language dubbed Graffiti. First created for the notoriously hard to write on Apple Newton, Graffiti was so popular that it was not just on PalmOS, but was also ported to Windows Mobile (as Block Recognizer) and to Symbian. Eventually, we saw devices like the Treo add physical keyboards and move away from handwriting input. Then, a lawsuit from Xerox led to Palm implementing Graffiti 2.<\/p>\n
