Question: going back?
Sunday, May 6, 2012 at 8:43AM If someone resurrected Palm OS (not Web OS), updated it while maintaining legacy support, and dropped it into the current hardware of today, would you consider going back? Thanks to David.

My first thought was YES. But then I had to add, "but it would..." And the more I thought about it the more I realised that what we need is for iOS and android to properly consider the concepts and features behind PalmOS and design in the things which made it great, like better to-do lists, better calendaring, ...
I would be happy with PalmOS as long as it worked with 3G. Palm were the one of the first to appreciate the need to think about usability and deliver this with great hardware and software integration.
Nope. Not the way it was when I left it. It was great then but things have moved along.
Myself, I wouldn't think twice.
PIM and Telephony are key for me, and I haven't been truly satisfied with any offering that I have seen so far on another platform that works will with Outlook.
And there are still some great games for Palm, like Edge, WordPop, etc.
With some arrangements, HD, etc, it could work, yes.
