This really brings back the memories. So many great ideas executed to 90%, all in a wacky brightly colored package. I was one of the leaders at Palm in 2000 and we did a pretty deep dive on partnering with Yang while looking at the device. I even went to Moscow to check out the small army of teenagers he had thinking up games by the boatload and spinning ideas of a teenager-led digital revolution. Yang understood the teenager customer really well but not the economics of devices: a sophisticated and complex wireless device built to look like a toy but costing well over $100. We wanted him to come up with a better made device that parents would buy for their teens (post 9/11 security) with all the Cylandia concepts and better working radios, but he had his own ideas of taking the product in a million directions at once.
