A History of Excellence
PocketSensei was founded at Stanford University in 1999 around a simple idea: develop software tools to make handheld computing devices more useful, and a whole lot more stylish. To this end we brought together some of the nation's brightest designers, programmers and artists.
Over the years, our groundbreaking work has been featured in a host of leading publications including The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Chicago Tribune, Boston Globe, The Guardian, Smart Money, Wired, Library Journal, ZDNet, NewMedia, CNet, The Economic Times, Pen Computing, TapWeekly, Handheld Computing, PalmUser, Palm for Dummies, and Byte Online.
PocketSensei's first product, SilverScreen, won NewMedia's coveted InVision award, and went on to become the all-time bestselling application for the Palm OS. The innovative application launcher pioneered a number of now widely used GUI paradigms including the use of a pop-up toolbar and drag-and-drop functionality on a handheld.
Our team also brought the Oxford Dictionary, Columbia Encyclopedia, and VideoHound movie directory to the handheld platform—each garnering the highest accolades in their respective categories.
Now at the ripe old age of ten, we may have updated our name (to Great Appaloosa) but our commitment remains the same: deliver vanguard apps that embody the fusion of form and function, substance and style.
