I would love to do this. I'd be super curious to re-experience life with an offline device in a very online world. I loved every Palm I had up through the Pre, but there was a magic about trying to play Zork on a Palm, or syncing a day's worth of light reading for the (school) bus. I really miss this app Four Point Oh that tracked homework and stuff.
- nehal3m 4y agoYou could pull the SIM out of a smartphone. Not the same, but similar?
- eddieroger 4y agoI could, but a smartphone is built with the expectation of total connectivity, as are the apps on it. The Palm was built to be offline first, and makes different expectations around data transfer. It also had a different interaction model - stylus with Graffiti instead of a keyboard - which would be fun to revisit. So yeah, I could have an offline device, but it's not the same.
