Those palms, with the "app store" called palmgear was on par with my ipad today, and my uses are remarkedly similar. If only Palm had been smart enough to develop a larger screen tablet with a web browser/interface with a dataplan option that actually worked (my Tx choked regularly on the internet and was never a reliable browser). Re: Story # 1: TouchPad RIP - that didn't take long! - vision63 - 08-19-2011 My actual last pure Palm experience wasn't so long ago. My Palm Centro phone was replaced by my Palm Pre (Sprint phones). I accidentily sat on my first Palm Pilot and crushed the screen. I felt sick. I bought 2 Palm IIIxe's (one for a gift at $250 ea). They worked great. I think Palm was smart enough to develop more advanced devices, they just never seemed to have enough cash for R&D, so they just took bets on devices that ran the same OS's.

The Search feature alone would have been worth it. Re: Story # 1: TouchPad RIP - that didn't take long! - digby - 08-20-2011 Ahhh... still have my palm Vx. In the back of my closet. What a cool form factor. |
