They were widely known for pioneering the "cloud"-based infrastructure and influenced the PDA game with its Magic Cap operating system, that popularized Internet-connected handheld devices, and its so-called "cloud"-powered engine, Telescript, which was made, so that it was universally compatible with various operating systems and hardware of the time.

On April 15, 1998, General Magic changed logo as it started focusing on Internet-related ventures. The company would eventually file bankruptcy and shutter in September of 2002.
