I loved my Palm devices.
I was just thinking the other day that I really wish I still had a Psion. Tolerable screen and keyboard. Slim and funny form factor. Runs for days on a few AAA, and rechargeable AAA at that. I used to play chess and read ebooks on one on train or bus rides. Never liked EPOC(?), but it was really efficient.
You didn’t get a palm pilot to play games or scroll social media, you got one because you had a job to do.
I literally had a palm pilot so I could browse the web when not at home. lol
If you’re using one now because you have a job to do, what the hell is your job that they are fine with using such old, outdated tech? You can’t even put Salesforce on that thing!
I collect vintage laptops, and my wife makes bespoke kitten mittens. Our budget is $6.2 million.
I also love using a Palm Pilot because it helps me commit notes to memory rather than just collecting them for later. You’ll be surprised how well you retain information when you enter it into a Palm, using the stylus to peck in letters deliberately. There’s also nothing quite like the satisfaction of hot-syncing your appointments and ideas while your Palm sits in its cradle.

What
I still rememberb the Palm Pilot input alphabet - every letter is represented by a single stroke and it was fast-enough and very accurate.
Graffiti was interesting but after s while of using it becomes second nature.

Actually we did. There was a lot of good games. Also I don’t believe the author ever had one if he forgets this important detail.
I fucking loved the games on my Palm Pilot. Started with an old OG Palm Pilot when I was 7 or 8, and I kept rocking them until high school when I had a TX. Soooo many good games, and the later ones could play mp3s.
I’d probably never go back, though.
That’s dumb as shit.
Someone should tell them about airplane mode.
But in airplane mode you could miss something.
On a PDA you can’t as there isn’t something you could miss in the first place.
No one cares about hipsters.
Well you cared enough to look and comment.
