Back in 1996, Palm released its first Palm Pilot PDAs onto the market, and quickly became a household name in the PDa business - so far as that Palm and Palm Pilot became synonyms for any PDA device. The company has hit some rough waters lately, but if it's up to CEO Ed Colligan, that's all going to change in the coming years.

I've been having luck with the Access PalmOS VM they released. Except for briding the VM and physical bluetooth radios, it supports all my old PalmOS apps that didn't have a native replacement. Hopefully Access will release newer versions; I hope that project didn't die to save someone's budget..

Time has passed, a lot of it, hasn't it?
They could recover, in a similar way to Apple, but they really need a visionary instead of a committee.
I have a Handspring Visor Deluxe here but I haven't used it for years. It ate batteries and by the time I restored from the Springboard backup module, the batteries (with some exaggeration) were about dead again.
Too bad that they didn't figure out how to make BeOS work for them because I believe we'd have some nice devices out of it. Patching PalmOS is like trying to get Mac OS 9 to run and that wasn't a pleasant experience.
