<A HREF="http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/micro_stories.pl?ACCT=no&TICK=PALM&STORY=/www/story/06-26-2001/0001521787&EDATE">Palm, Inc.'s</A> chief executive officer, Carl Yankowski, is delivering the opening keynote address this morning at TechX NY. Directly following the keynote, Yankowski will hold a media Q&A session to answer questions related to the keynote. In addition, approximately 20 third-party Palm Economy partners are launching products at the show. In the keynote, titled "Handheld Computing: Grass Roots to Corporate Standard," Yankowski will discuss how handheld computers, along with mobile phones and notebooks, broke the chains that tethered workers to their desks. Once a grass-roots trend among the technical elite, handhelds have found a place among mobile professionals and enterprises--and are fast becoming a platform for managing the heart of business itself. Yankowski will provide a look at the technologies and innovations that are fueling this revolution, not just for the future, but also in the here and now.
