PenPoint OS
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The PenPoint OS was a product of GO Corporation and was one of the earliest operating systems written specifically for graphical tablets and personal digital assistants. It ran on AT&T's EO Personal Communicator as well as a number of Intel x86 powered Tablet PCs including IBM's ThinkPad 700T series, NCR's 3125, and some of GRiD Systems' pen-based portables.
Developers of the PenPoint OS included Robert Carr, who was involved with the Alto computer at Xerox PARC.
