Chapter 239

Soon, Henry signed an investment agreement with Jeff Hawkins, founder of Palm Computing, and successfully joined Palm Computing!

Of course, Robert's wish also came true. Henry took a picture with him and sent his autograph!

In fact, Henry often takes photos with some celebrities in his previous life. Quan Dang is a bit of a celebrity collector. Whenever I look at the photos on the wall, I feel very sad!

Palm Computing did not publicize the investment.

we coming ~No shooting~!

Apple is making Apple Newton, and it will be released in 1993. What Palm Computing needs to do is to be the first to release and seize the market opportunity! So apple can't detect the intention of Palm Computing!

Youdao is to strike first, and the latter is controlled by others!

In previous generations, the failure of Palm Computing's first product was related to Apple's preemptive release of Apple Newton in addition to its own problems! At that time, the release of Apple Newton caused a great shock, and after this kind of product, the response will not be so enthusiastic!

Although Apple Newton failed, apple managed to get back some of its capital, so it would not lose too much!

But if Palm Computing is the first to launch a PDA, it's not clear how much more Apple Newton can sell! However, Apple Newton has high cost and failed in positioning. The listing price is $1000, while palm Pocket PC is only $300!

It goes without saying which product consumers like!

Palm Computing company to do palm palmtop, in Henry's request, as simple as possible, as light and convenient as possible, even in the system to establish only four applications: schedule management, phone book, to-do management, Notepad! The success of Palm Computing company is to simplify and simplify, and make it extremely simple, so that the products will sell well!

In addition, palm computers generally have handwriting recognition function!

Jeff Hawkins is a great designer. In order to simplify the heavy burden of the handwriting recognition system, he invented the graffiti input method, which uses the newly created special and simple stroke method to input English, numbers, symbols, etc., so that people can input data efficiently and conveniently. Therefore, the computational burden of the recognition system is reduced a lot. In fact, learning graffiti's strokes is simple and interesting, and many users have a special preference for the product because of the novel strokes!!!

Through these two improvements, palmcomputing's new products have sold a lot. In 18 months, it sold one million sets, surpassing the best-selling records of color TV sets and video recorders in the history of electrical appliances for the first time!

Since then, palmcomputing has established its leading position in PDA!

If Palm Computing is the first to release such a product, it will be a heavy blow to apple!

Henry's investment in Palm Computing can speed up the pace of Apple's death and enable him to acquire apple as soon as possible; Second, it can compete with Symbian system!

Kill two birds with one stone!

Arm has helped Apple design the Apple Newton chip, so it is full of experience! Therefore, the processor chip of Palm Computing can be designed by arm, which saves a lot of time for Palm Computing!

I have to say, this is life!

When Apple met Henry, it was really bad enough!

The first product of Palm Computing company was named "palm pilot" by Henry. Pilot itself means auxiliary. Here it is extended to universal Notepad. Consumers can clearly know the function of the product when they look at the name of the product!

The entire team of Jeff Hawkins has moved to San Jose, California, and recruited more talents. In terms of hardware, Silicon Valley electronics group will give the greatest help and cooperation, and both sides will strengthen cooperation!

At this time, Bruce donnaway venture capital company called to ask Palm Computing company whether to invest or not. They planned to invest $500000 and want to take 30% of the shares. Obviously, this is impossible. Jeff Hawkins directly refused!

Every day, thousands of companies are established in San Jose, and hundreds of companies go bankrupt. Palm Computing company is unknown for the time being. No one will pay attention to it, and no one will think that this small company is making great efforts to fight against Apple!!!

Later, Henry informed Tian Shuai to have a talk with Jeff Hawkins and add the function of reading novels on ireader's website! In fact, PalmPilot as a universal Notepad, reading TXT file is its basic function, which is a kind of mutually beneficial cooperation, can enhance the competitiveness of the product itself! Therefore, there should be no problem in the cooperation between the two sides!

PalmOS is just under development. In the first few years, it may only be applied to PDA. After all, Symbian has been developing mobile phone systems for 11 years, and it's unrealistic for PalmOS to want to compete with it at the beginning. Maybe after several years of improvement and perfection, plus Henry's advice, maybe we can compete with one of them, or even win!

Henry is now helping them design the shape of mobile phones in the mobile phone Department of Silicon Valley electronics group. Henry has directly designed the classic mobile phone Nokia 2110, which was produced by Nokia in 1994. This is the first mobile phone of Nokia with a sales volume of more than 20 million units, which instantly swept the world and made the world know the name of Nokia!!!

Henry finished the design drawings, finished the shape design, and then said to the people, "this is the shape design of our first mobile phone!"

People are used to Motorola "mobile phone", for this kind of small and exquisite mobile phone like very much like, constantly praise this design is wonderful!

Henry said with a smile: "in addition to the shape design, I also brought a piece of music this time!"

"Chairman, do you know music and compose a song?" Harrison was surprised.

Henry left him the impression of genius, and genius is a person with unlimited creativity! When he heard what Henry said, his first reaction was that the music was composed by Henry. But in fact, he guessed wrong!

Henry shook his head and said, "well, that's not true! This piece has a history of 100 years. It comes from the music of Grande Valse. It is a classical guitar piece created by francisco-t á rrega in 1902!!! I brought the iPod, music stored in it, you bring a stereo, I play to you

Then an employee brought the stereo and wired it to the iPod. After that, a wonderful sound sounded!

People listen, can not help but be fascinated.

"Chairman, will this song be used as the ringtone of our mobile phone?" Harrison asked quickly!

"That's right!" Henry nodded. "I think it's very nice, rhythmic and charming! I hope that in the future, when people listen to the ring tone, they will be able to think of our mobile phone

In fact, this song is Nokia's most classic ring tone, which was released together with the Nokia 2110 mobile phone in 1994! This classic ring tone of Nokia has even become the symbol of Nokia brand, which can be recognized almost anywhere in the world!

And Henry also hopes that his company's mobile phones will do the same!

The so-called play is to do the whole set, plagiarism is the same, can't leave things behind, also want to copy the whole set!
