Not my area of expertise (got for £40 with dock)

Kicked up these 2 with dock and wall charger for £40, both turn on but haven't tested batteries. I'm a vintage digital photographer and I do love a Sony lens so I had to grab these.

Palm video output

Is it possible to mod the ribbon display cable to provide video output to another device for capture? If so examples would be appreciated, thank you in advance.

Did anyone else have this external Palm GPS that connects via Bluetooth?

As I recall, I purchased maps that were vector-based. They took up very little space but you had to load dozens of them onto your phone to allow for continuous mapping.

I tossed this device onto the dashboard of my car and it would provide continuous GPS coordinates to my Palm OS device.

Palm TX - proprietary charger only?

Hi all, recently got a palm TX and didn’t read the description properly (my fault!) to see it came sans charger.

I got it today and was very keen to use it, but it also came sans charge. What can you do.

Is there any other way to charge it? Like another adapter or anything or is it only a proprietary lead?

Thanks

Palm Pre Engineering shirt

At Palm, we were given shirts that had this cool wireframe image on the back. On the front it simply said "palm prē" and on the right sleeve were the words "palm engineering." I still have it and my son occasionally steals it from me to wear.

No Charger

Found this Palm M515 at the thrift store a couple months back without the charger and was wondering if I could charge it without the charger?

I’m probably not gonna buy a charger since I don’t really have the money right now. But I enjoy tinkering around with stuff, I have a soldering iron, quite a few different batteries and cables. So could I theoretically charge it with some basic stuff I have around the house?

I’m gonna tinker regardless of the replies but if anyone could point me in the right direction I’d appreciate it. Or of any relevant guides, websites, YouTube videos, Reddit threads etc!

Thanks!

Palm III - Tips to preserve battery life and other questions

Hi all, new owner of a Palm III. I lucked out on eBay after acquiring a “sold as is - untested” one for a bit of history. I have always wanted a PDA since I first heard of them. I’m 32 now and that was a long time ago. I really took a chance but it worked out cause it obviously works perfectly.

Anyway few questions for you if that’s cool:

  1. Can I use modern rechargeable AAAs or is it safest to use normal non chargeable ones?
  2. Do you get any “grace period” when you have to change batteries? I.e few seconds to minutes while you swap them out?
  3. On that note - do you lose all data when you run out of batteries completely like other organisers of that era or before? (Looking at you Psion…)
  4. Under normal conditions how long is a set of average AAAs expected to last?
  5. It didn’t come with a cradle but I’m thinking of trawling eBay when I get paid for one or keeping an eye open. How much am I missing out by not hawing one?

I have just started a new job as a cleaner and I am using the to do list as my task list for work and stuff and I find it so helpful for my ADHD riddled brain to physically check off items as I go.

Anyway thanks a bunch!

NB: also what’s the deal with people not testing them to sell them? Wouldn’t you think it’d fetch a much higher price if it’s in working condition? Anyway your loss buddy…

Did anyone else ever use a prototype palm?

OK, strange question, please bear with me. In 1999, I was working IT at SCO. Our boss was friends with someone at 3-com and got us (the IT Team) their new palm to try it out in the real world. It was the palm IIIc, but it had an expansion slot if you removed the rear cover. Something like it was used later on the handspring. One of the first expansion cards (and the one we had in ours) was a motorola alpha numeric pager that worked through an addon to memo. Did anyone else have or use anything like this?

Found a French magazine about Palm from 2003

Hi everyone! Found this in my dad's library recently. He said he was never a big fan of Palm, but might have a device or two in his basement somewhere. I didn't know what it was, but I flipped through the magazine and was amazed at how cool these things were. I googled around and couldn't find this magazine anywhere, seems to be a special edition of Palmtops, which is a magazine I couldn't find a lot of info about either. It also comes with a CD with "videos and animations of Tungsten E, T3 and Palm Premium GPS Solution", but I don't have a CD player. Might try to find one and digitize these videos bc now I'm really curious!

I was so intrigued by all of this Palm stuff that I made a video about it. I make videos about vintage tech sometimes with other things I find in my dad's old stuff, hope I didn't say anything wrong about the community ahaha https://youtube.com/shorts/7_s21OqTfPw?is=qTr8FA4XWOkiDXMj

Super cool to see that these devices are still alive and kicking. In my TikTok comments someone said that they ordered a Tungsten C after watching my video, so who knows, maybe a Palm revival is coming!

Giant Palm Pre

Right on the tail of my last post... a giant Treo on display outside of Palm HQ in Sunnyvale, CA was taken down and replaced with this giant Palm Pre on the morning of June 6, 2009. That was the day the Pre was first made available to the public by Sprint.
