Yeah, you basically invented the netbook a few months too early, and marketed it as an accessory when it was a full-fledged computer hardware-wise.
By the way, did the GPL code used on that ever get released, assuming the demo units counted as distribution?
- rcarmo 10y agoI don't see the point of asking any of these questions in this fashion...
- tmzt 10y agoNo intention to offend or accuse here, just two points that stuck with me from that time and which I've been curious about. To my knowledge only a few developer units were released and remained property of Palm, hence my caveat in asking the question. As to the first point, I was personally excited to see a small ARM-based laptop, and dissapointed when it's capabilities and marketing as an accessory led to its denise. Not that the unclear direction of Palm's software at the time helped. It was the right call and yet disappointing.
