SO glad PalmOS finally went the way of the dodo. It was the Windows of
the PDA world...unbelievably bad, but everyone bought it anyway, as if
under some sort of hypnosis.
The whole
thing seemed a bit clunky and slow and not very useful to
me. I think they did coin the acronym PDA... and it did lead on to
bigger and better things. (like the Ipad).
I wouldn't say no to one if someone gave me one for my collection. (;
Why was the Palm Pilot more successful than the newton? Fossil/Abacus sold a wristwatch with PalmOS (4.x)
Not as nice as the never-imported Epson RC20 (Z80 based), but more readily
usable
Although I despise PalmOS (used it for WAY too long on Treo phones)
I'd love to see that wristwatch, it sounds like a neat idea. I'd dearly
love to have an RC20 but have never been able to find one.
