Palm Pilot Professional from 1996 - remote sync in 2020

A rose tinted nostalgic look at how palm pilot was the first to change the paradigm of portable computing to what we have today. Plethora of Apps, games, utilities and truly portable. This PDA even had "cloud Sync"!!!
Remote Sync at 10:00

The RPG game was pretty awesome! Had my old Palm Pilot for 20+ years, not realizing it was capable of such graphics 😊👍

The modem was very useful. I used it traveling internationally to send and receive email. It worked so fast that a call of less than one minute was enough. I also sent faxes, and with a terminal emulator I dialed into our mainframe all over the world thru local nodes. Was nice that the modem had its own separate batteries.

I had Palm Pilot, III, Handspring Visor, Sony Clie; Clie tactile keyboard was quite useful, nice display

[@jasonbrown467]

i had a ton of these devices, started for back in the 80s with calculator watches lol. i am now looking into checking out old palm stuff i still have but havent used in 20 years.

Nice video, It's been a long time, but a video about third-party apps would be really cool.

[@nostolgiatech]

Sure! what would you guys like to see? I skimmed over apps as i thought there was quite a few other people talking about the apps and wouldn't be showing anything new.

[@teleroel]

The Tricorder App! That became more realistic with good sound capabilities. I've almost every Palm model in my collection, most still work. My first Palm model was the see-through SE and the last models came under the HP name (the company that managed to kill WebOS)

I still have my original Palm 1000 1 meg upgrade and modem! Still works to this day, October 15, 2021. I found a HP [just needed a cmos battery] desktop computer with Windows me, with a workable com 1 serial port, and limited USB port, syncs with Palm Zire 72. It was like getting an antique car started- Hot Synced!

[@nostolgiatech]

I love the analogy of starting a old vintage car!

[@donnicachi-young9920]

Cool! 😎

[@z8669zzz]

Now with Android and iOS the thrill has just begun

[@TheMingookim]

[@as-uh4jk]

That was cool. Why no more vids?

[@pandoraefretum]

Epic PDA... what happened ? Android phones are powerful but the apps have lost their charm ?

[@mohitkaushik8954]

[@tech-vp5xe]

How did you build a simulated modem connection

[@z8669zzz]

[@eileen9531]

Can a palm pilot be sync with a Mac or ipad

[@eileen9531]

Or just too Old

[@kbhasi]

You'd probably have to have an older Mac to do it

[@DrEdWhite]

No need for Windows ME. XP works just as well. ME is PURE junk :-)))
