I would love for a widespread PalmOS revival!
I'm not talking so much about the devices, as the whole experience. The exquisite UI, the distraction-free atmosphere, the lack of ads and dark patterns like tracking, the elegant simplicity, the efficient Graffiti language, and, yes, the reprogrammable physical buttons.

- paultopia 1y agoNow that Pebble is coming back why not bring Palm back too? I miss my circa 1999 PalmPilot so bad. I even had a gigantic ugly wireless modem for it that I used to check e-mail.
- rkagerer 1y agoDo you mean the Enfora Wifi Sled? Had one of those too.
- MomsAVoxell 1y agoI'd love to have it running on a watch, and the watch can be used to input Grafiti or whatever its called. A PalmOS watch would be a really nice counterpoint to the hegemony of Apple Watch. But that's about as likely to happen as an SGI Irix laptop.
- e808 1y agoFossil watches actually released a palm-based watch https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fossil_Wrist_PDA https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fossil_Wrist_PDA nobody could out-nerd me with that watch that lasted only a few hours per charge.
