LGR did an episode on an HP PDA he had in college, and it inspired me to run out to eBay and bought something I always wanted at the time but never sprung for: A Palm m100. The ecosystem for it is completely dead and it’s almost unusable, but you know what? The seamless flexibility that the built-in productivity apps work together–the way you can put a note with a checklist in it in a reminder and it just works–My modern day Samsung has both Google and Samsung software, and neither one did it as well.
You say the ecosystem is dead. Technically yeah it is, but there’s a fantastic archive of old PalmOS applications that’s being really well taken care of. Mostly old programs from back in the day (most of which are cracked), but then you have dedicated fans making new apps, like that one dude who built a version of Wordle for PalmOS!
Best part is that it even has a version that can be easily accessed from Palm devices, stripped of its modern features to give you a basic interface that works on hardware not built for the modern internet.
