Peripatetic Software is one of several fictitious companies created by Prof. David Bernstein, now a member of the Computer Science Department at James Madison University .

1 About the Company

Peripatetic Software develops software for mobile computing devices.

Back in 2005, when Peripatetic Software was formed, there were about 10.5 million PDAs and "Smart" Phones sold in the United States and about 60 million sold worldwide. At the time, those number were projected to grow to 34 million and 182 million respectively by 2010. The actual growth has far exceeded anyone's forecasts.

In addition, an enormous number of different kinds of vehicles (e.g., cars, trucks, scooters) now contain (or are themselves) mobile computing devices.

Finally, "smart cards" and "smart tokens" have proliferated and can now be found almost everywhere.

The end result is that the market for Peripatetic Software's products is larger than anyone every expected.
