The Palm with the color screen, and Internet access was great! Forget the name, but it still works, and sitting in a drawer. Too lazy to walk over.
It was around $300.00
It saved me so much money. I used to go to liquidation sales. In one instance, I needed to find what 900 units of Halo III The collector's edition were selling for on eBay. They were going for $40-$50 bucks. I bought all the games at $5 a piece. The other buyers thought I was crazy.
No one had smart phones. I really thought I finally had a tool to get ahead in life. Libraries offered free internet access without logging in, and it seemed wherever I was, someone had an open wifi I could connect to. This little Palm always had internet access, or though it seemed? I remember thinking about a smart phone, and couldn't bring myself to pay for data?
I blinked, about 9 months went by, and it seemed like everyone was on a smart phone. It was nice while it lasted.
As to the device, I don't think they marketed it the right way.
I still think the Palm, all of them, were great little devices. I remember hooking one up to a gps. I took it down the Rogue River, so I could be prepared for any rapids greater than 3. It kinda worked, but need fine tuning. It wasen't Palms fault; I didn't have the right maps loads.
Just looked for the devise, and can't find it.
Palm products were great. They, along with the accessories were make well. It's ashame what happened to that company.
