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!
Your FrogFind Team 🐸
Comparison of Low-Res (Palm OS 3.5+) and Hi-Res (Palm OS 5) versions of BapSoft Cubix for Palm OS. Which version do you like the most? 😄

Finally continuing my work on making a curated Palm OS collection with screenshots, metadata and more.
I'm also collecting more versions because some originally supported e.g. Palm OS 3.x, but versions crept up over time.
It's slow work, but my goal is to share this so people can use it. All I need is perhaps a little encouragement every once in a while 😅

Using a Palm for a 2026 Planner
With the hell that is modern internet and smart devices I decided to start using a old Palm Pilot as my daily planner. Yes I know crazy to think a GenZ would be using a palm device for daily planning but guess what I don’t want to have to be fighting with google calender or even things like OwnCloud’s calender app is starting to get on my nerves.
