General Magic was the company that created the Magic Cap operating
system and hand-held devices including the Sony Magic Link and
Motorola Envoy. Many concepts from Magic Cap went on to new lives in
later products like the Danger Hiptop, Apple iPhone, and Google
Android.
Before General Magic became a company in 1990, it was an internal
project at Apple called “Paradigm.” One day while I was working at
General Magic, the marketing department was throwing away old stuff,
so as the self-appointed, unofficial General Magic historian, I dug
through their trash and discovered this: a concept book from the
Paradigm days.
