Gravitas Documentaries
A feature-length documentary on General Magic, the 1989 startup that envisioned the smartphone and handheld connected devices, featuring Tony Fadell, Andy Hertzfeld and Marc Porat. It covers the company's vision and eventual failure.
Recommended as a fun and illuminating watch on early mobile computing, especially in threads about Bill Atkinson and Telescript.
