Palm OS

Computers are currently getting smaller, laptops more portable and phones more powerful. For a truly portable desktop that you can use any where though you need a palm pilot with some form of Palm OS.

Palm OS is a type of PDA (personal Digital Organizer). Many Palm OS can run all the applications your familiar with, whether you’re native to Mac or PC. Microsoft Office (Word, excel, power point etc) can all be used on a palm OS and lately there are fully fledged DAWs (Digital audio Workstaions) available too. The Palm OS (used to be Palm Pilot) has been through a number of changes and updates since its start in 1996 and comes with bundled software (either in house or third party) to get you started.

As mentioned earlier there are a number of 3rd party product suites and applications you can purchase, but there are also a lot of open source and freeware applications too (no purchase necessary). Palm OS is often licenced to other products not made by the company and are generally used in touch screen devices for ease of use. Since its start in 1996 Palm Os (in one form or another) has been used in over 38million different devices and Palm Pilot is now a household name.
