Rest assured, the research isn't just from reading
a bunch of random,
unproven web pages. There is a reason this took four years: every fact is
double- or triple-sourced. The majority of the facts here came from
personal interviews that I conducted with the first-person sources, as well
as from books, news articles, patent research, etc.
I can vouch for the fact that Evan left practically no stone unturned in
his research. In fact, I am amazed at Evan's ability to uncover ancient
stories and information, and then follow breadcrumbs from those sources to
even earlier sources. Evan has uncovered a wealth of previously unknown
(or at least "lost") information about the history of the PDA, all the way
back to the early 1970s. Very cool stuff.
