Sony CLIÉ were my choice of Palm devices. Hi-resolution (double), better colour, better screens, better system apps. Crazy hardware design, cyberdecks with so much personality, a far cry from what we have today. And one CLIÉ device that perhaps inspired the iPhone, the TH55, as both Steve Jobs and Jony Ive were fans. I did some preservation of Palm stuff, lost SEGA games https://blog.gingerbeardman.com/2019/04/24/recovered-forgotten-sega-exclusives-on-palm-os/ https://blog.gingerbeardman.com/2019/04/24/recovered-forgott..., app hacking, and more. When browsing the Wayback Machine for old Palm apps, it's so interesting to see pretty much all development stop once the iPhone was released. The original Palm software and user interface design was heavily inspired by the Macintosh. "Piloting Palm" by Andrea Butter & David Pogue is a great read.
