I lack the wherewithal to do anything more than to appreciate the sheer scope in the most general terms, but nostalgia is kicking in quite hard.

Bravo!

I'm with you on the nostalgia kick. What Palm did you have? I had a Palm IIIe SE in high school, didn't use it for much except sending sub7 to anything with an IR port and play dope wars, but still my fav computer I've ever owned.

This is amazing. I would leap at the chance to build a simple palm device with a 3D printed case, modern hardware that lasts an absolute eternity.

For people that do these kinds of projects, I always wonder how much progress is getting made in an average night of poking around. I'm only able to make big leaps on things by just eating up evenings. Are some people just really good at picking things up and making progress?

Side note: Dmitry (creator of RePalm) is a treasure and his impact on the Palm community cannot be understated. He has a world-class depth of knowledge of the inner workings of these things and is one of the key players in extending PalmOS device capabilities today (patching ROMs, new hardware, etc.).

He also contributes regularly to apps the community is developing, teaching us hobby devs new tricks. :)

As someone who still uses PDAs regularly, I can't express enough gratitude.

Is there a recommended Palm device for modern use? What software do you use on Linux/Mac/Windows to sync the PDA?

Great writeup. For those interested in the subject there is also PumpkinOS (https://github.com/migueletto/PumpkinOS) with accompanying blog posts going in to details.
