Not https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm,_Inc. , maker of the Palm Pilot. :(
They reference/sort of say they are the original Palm.
Also, you don’t need another phone line/connection. It will use your same phone number. I’m sure Verizon will figure out a way to charge for it but it looks like it won’t be a whole new line.
We’ll see I guess.
I wonder how much they paid to acquire that Instagram @palm account (unless someone who works for them registered it early... Let alone the palm.com domain)
It’s alwyas been a personal account and is my nickname since I was a child.
On a side note, someone has tried to reset my account dozens of times throughout the years.
It seems this device works even when it's nowhere near your "full" phone. Too bad it'll basically require a second data plan.
In all seriousness though, a reasonably-sized smartphone is a good idea, hopefully they don't ruin it somehow.
Basic premise is.. "Hey, we're going to make our smartphone so undesirable that you won't want to use it except when you absolutely need it. However, we'll make sure it looks well-built so people know that you've made a deliberate lifestyle choice and that this isn't your primary phone."
Seriously, 800mah?
The only reason that smartphones "work" is because they have big screens, while big screens obviously consume a lot of power and therefore require big batteries, there's more space for the battery inside as the PCB doesn't need to be big like the screen.
P.S. If it's cheap it's going to break a lot... you know palm the cheaper it is the worse it is
I love seeing new product ideas, but I'm baffled at how this one made it all the way to production. Basic premise is..
