OmniSky was a dotcom-era Silicon Valley startup, focused on web-enabled, wireless, mobile touchscreen products and services. Their wireless connectivity was built on CDPD technology. The modems supported Palm V[1] and Handspring, Inc. Visor handhelds.[2] OmniSky produced the first touchscreen handset to integrate Google's search engine.[3][4] OmniSky was founded on May 7, 1999 and held an IPO through NASDAQ on September 21, 2000.[5] It generated no revenue in 1999 and prior to its IPO it reported a lifetime total of $2.1 million revenue compared to a loss of more than $40 million.[6] By November 2001 OmniSky reported that it was no longer able to complete its financial statements due to a possible pending bankruptcy.[7] OmniSky sold to EarthLink in December 2001.[8]
