Hey meshers, would anyone be motivated to hack a @meshtastic or @meshcore chat application on #PalmOS devices ? The one on the photo has a nice display, nice keyboard and even Bluetooth! Avoiding the landfill for these devices (also with the phasing out of 2G/3G), would be an awesome reuse of resources ♻️. Looking into Palm SDK and existing open source apps for this platform...

Back to Palm OS

Modern software is so bad I had to go back to a Palm Pilot to track calories.

palm はいろいろありましたが、まず勝利に結びつかなかったのはPCと一緒に使うことが前提であったこと、あくまでもインターネットも一応見れる(今のようにネット接続前提でアプリが動くみたいな発想はなかった)程度のものとなってしまっていたこと... が言えると思います #palmOS

Plan Lös B Mar 28

Morgen Palmsonntag und Zeitumstellung, dass hätte zu PalmOS Zeiten zu kilometerlangen threads bei Nexave geführt und OWL hätte das ganze Wochenende seine gadgets umgestellt. Können auch nicht alle was mit anfangen oder verstehen.

FrogFind's "Catch of the Day": Get your styluses ready! (EudoraWeb on Palm OS) 🌴🖊️
Hey Retro Fans!

It's time for our Catch of the Day! Tonight, we have a guest in our logs that takes us right back to the era when phones were just for calling, and smart organizers were known as "PDAs" (Personal Digital Assistants).

Just before 6:30 PM, this exotic creature showed up in the frog pond:

🏆 EudoraWeb 2.1 on Palm OS

Why this is so awesome:
Long before the iPhone or modern Android devices, Palm OS was the undisputed king of mobile productivity. You operated these devices with a small plastic stylus on resistive touchscreens (often still monochrome!).

The name Eudora probably rings a bell for many retro geeks anyway: it was the standard email client of the 90s. But what many have forgotten is that they also released a specially adapted, tiny web browser for Palm PDAs called EudoraWeb.

The fact that someone dusted off their old Palm device today, hooked it up to the net via a serial cable, infrared, or an early Wi-Fi card, and tapped out a FrogFind search with their stylus is just pure magic. This is exactly the kind of tiny display and low-power CPU that FrogFind was built for!

We tip our hats to this handheld hero!
