GO Corporation

GO Corporation was founded in 1987 to create software for mobile computers and personal digital assistants. Its PenPoint OS was famous for running on AT&T's EO Personal Communicator, but as tablet computing waned in the 1980s and early 1990s, so did the fortunes of GO.
Its founders were Jerry Kaplan, Robert Carr, and Kevin Doren. Mr. Kaplan subsequently chronicled the history of the company in his book Startup: A Silicon Valley Adventure Story (ISBN 0735101418).
While much of what transpired at GO was eclipsed by high-fliers of the dot com era that immediately followed GO's demise, the company was famous in its time for its longevity, its constantly shifting fortunes, the amount of money it spent, and the caliber of talent it attracted.
