Well the phone part is pushing it a bit here.
I grew up after it but someone gave me one to hack around with as a teenager and iirc it had a mail client but to connect it to the internet you needed a cabled modem so you could only use these features when you were pretty much already at your PC anyways. The local file-transfer feature was cool tho, but again this required your counter-party to also have a palm.
- jen20 4y agoI had a Treo 600 and (more importantly) a Treo 650, which were direct descendants of the Pilot. In the years before the iPhone it meant I could read email etc on the way into the office - it was pretty great. Of course, the iPhone was a substantial leap forward, and Palm's unwillingness to realize that such a thing was even possible - combined with godawful native development tools - made it a victim pretty early on.
