Non-running related question, but I know there are some knowledgeable posters in stuff other than running...

I'm looking at purchasing a palm pilot or similar PDA. I'm looking for the ability to create and edit Word, Excel and Powerpoint files as well as have access to the internet.

Can anyone offer me some advice on what I should be looking for with regards to memory storage, accessories, wireless technology (Wi-Fi and or Bluetooth) etc.

thanks. Any help would be appreciated.

LOL.

Some people. Blows my mind how and why anyone would troll through old posts just to find one from 11 years ago that no one ever answered...

No better hobbies?

Just sayin.'

wasted 2minutes of life, damn, thanks for setting me straight

This looks homepage worthy to me.

I love how the OP had to apologize for posting something non-running related.

Now if someone can dig up the airplane on a treadmill thread...

Bump.

Actually want to know the best 2005 product for this guy.

Oh man, this is hilarious.

How dirty does "Palm Pilot" sound? I was only 7 when this was originally posted, hahahaha.

Weird. I thought blackberry had already supplanted palm pilot by 2005.

That is what is so funny about this. I already had a Blackberry in 2005. I think Palm Pilot hit its peak in the late 90s.

One possible explanation would be that the phrase "Palm Pilot" may have been common parlance for "PDAs" at the time. I cannot remember. So everything, even a Blackberry, was a "Palm Pilot."

Still own a Palm Pilot did you say?

I saw this and was wondering "why"?

However, I did keep a Palm Pilot for many years since I used it when I was captaining a Hood To Coast team as it could be used as a timing device.

Then I saw the response about it being a thread from 2005.

I've got a sweet working palm 7x in my boneyard drawer - with an original 1 gen ipod.

The Palm Pilot was a great product in its day. It is sad the management at Palm couldn't follow the success of the Palm with another successful product. BTW, I worked on the Palm Pilot and saw the management failure first hand.

Super useful to bring back posts from 11 years ago. Listen, I know where you can get a Galaxy Note 7 cheap. Call me.

Was there a Blackberry in 2005 that had the ability to "ability to create and edit Word, Excel and Powerpoint files"??

I chuckled just seeing this pop up on the homepage, and even more seeing the 11-year bump and link.

Thank you PB (post-bumper) for the laugh!

Handpring Treo 90 was the best PalmOS PDA in my opinion. After Palm bought Handspring and HP bought Palm, they could have turned the Treo into a viable alternative to the iPhone and Android. The early Treos were certainly better than the early iPhones in everything but build quality. But bad management wrecked all of that potential.

Anyway, for its time the Palm Pilot was pretty revolutionary.

I don't know what is more amazing, the fact that the link from this guys post is still active or that the therealreal.com is still selling $75 Palm Pilot cases.

Nevermind, I am an idiot, that link was added later as an add
