Videos of the week: Palm, Apple and a better world
This week gave us an unusual impetus to indulge in nostalgia, with two high-profile anniversaries. Ten years ago, Palm introduced its Pilot handheld, setting in motion a new era of portable, handheld computing. And thirty years back, Apple Computer made its debut--a scrappy start-up with a knack for turning products into cultural icons.
Meanwhile, eBay helped bring about the e-commerce era and offered up a case study in how to succeed on the Internet.
Those three companies, and the people behind them, are some of the stars of this week's videos--highlights are below. To see all of CNET News.com's latest videos, click here
