Jeff Hawkins co-founded Handspring with Donna Dubinsky in July of 1998
after their incredibly successful run together at Palm Computing. In 1994,
Hawkins invented the original PalmPilot products and founded Palm Computing,
now a 3Com company. He is often credited as the designer who reinvented
the handheld market.
An industry veteran with nearly
20 years of technical expertise, Hawkins currently holds nine patents
for various handheld devices and features. His vision for handheld computing
dates back to the 1980s, when as Vice President of Research at GRiD Systems
Corporation he served as principal architect and designer for the GRiDPad
and GRiD Convertible. Prior to that, he held key technical positions with
Intel Corporation. Hawkins earned his B.S. in electrical engineering from
Cornell University.
