  Hey dudes! I hope you enjoy, any mistakes I made will be posted here in the show notes!<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prewRFf14ZA&amp;t=533">8:53</a> it&apos;s not open source. It&apos;s just licensed. Sorry. I was probably thinking about Android when I wrote that. <br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prewRFf14ZA&amp;t=575">9:35</a> That&apos;s a typo. I&apos;m sure you know what it&apos;s supposed to say. Sorry.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prewRFf14ZA&amp;t=824">13:44</a> Yeah, I said the wrong name, I know. The Jobs/Cook thing was a verbal error while filming that I noticed and never fixed in the edit. 100% my mistake. The &quot;unconstitutional&quot; thing is also technically wrong. There&apos;s nothing in the American constitution on employee poaching or even free enterprise, but the deal proposed by Jobs does go against the basic concepts of capitalism outlined by other American legislation. My mistake again.

  I&apos;m an archaeologist woking in the jungle in Yucatan. Back in 1994 I used the Palm to calculate the areas that we where going to excavate. It was a game changer in field research for me. I think I used quite a few of them.

  Back in the day my mom and aunts were very techy. You had a cell phone, a Palm Pilot, a digital camera, an MP3 player and portable DVD players, now we have them altogether in a $150 device

  I&apos;m 39 and still miss and remember all my different Sprint Palm Treos. Loved each and every one of them

  I miss my Palm Pre and Pixi so much... The PalmOS was just a wonderful experience.<br>Also had a Tungsten long ago

  Your channel is a hidden gem and seriously underrated. Your in-depth presentation style reminds me of some early YouTube tech channels, without distractions for sponsors or paid promotions every few minutes. <br>Rock on, my dude! 🤘

  This is a great video. My father got a Palm m130 when he was in the military and didn’t want it, so he gave it to me. I used it for reading, games, keeping up with appointments and for Bible reading (I helped develop some Bible software). I eventually upgraded to the Palm TX and then to the iPod touch after that. I was sad to see Palm decline as I thought they had a chance; I was going to get their Centro phone and liked the pre. In any case, I still miss the simplicity of the Palm.

  I remember seeing a Palm device in the James Bond movie, Casino Royale thinking, &quot;That was so cool!, I want one!&quot; That movie came out in 2006. Little did we know that the iPhone was just around the corner...

  Ah yes, HP... Where technology legends go to die a miserable death.

  Crazy I apparently already watched your first and 5th video ever made, and your transparent phone video, now this. Love watching channels grow. Subscribed because I used to make stop motion videos in ‘98 on old hi-8 cameras and that’s what sold me. Love the creatives. Cheers 👍

  My Palm Centro is my favorite mobile device I&apos;ve ever owned. &nbsp;I don&apos;t care what anyone says, the calendar on PalmOS is still to this day the best calendar software ever created!
