    Palm had the opportunity and missed it.

    Build a new OS, one with support for existing apps (granted, they’d have limited ability to interact with the modern Palm OS), and you get to keep existing customers.

    OH how I miss Palm. Splashshopper is still a better shopping list app than anything I use today, I used to play Monopoly on my Treo, and watch movies from the SD card when I was traveling (but boy it used battery).

      They probably designed the stuff to be useful so they could sell phones instead of app makers who wanna extract extra money with their apps.
