I would love for a widespread PalmOS revival!

I'm not talking so much about the devices, as the whole experience. The exquisite UI, the distraction-free atmosphere, the lack of ads and dark patterns like tracking, the elegant simplicity, the efficient Graffiti language, and, yes, the reprogrammable physical buttons.

Wish granted: https://dmitry.gr/?r=05.Projects&proj=27.%20rePalm

I've been porting it to various devices, eg: https://x.com/dmitrygr/status/1980508960538099856, https://www.hackster.io/news/def-con-32-s-raspberry-pi-rp235...,

Now that Pebble is coming back why not bring Palm back too? I miss my circa 1999 PalmPilot so bad. I even had a gigantic ugly wireless modem for it that I used to check e-mail.

I'd love to have it running on a watch, and the watch can be used to input Grafiti or whatever its called.

A PalmOS watch would be a really nice counterpoint to the hegemony of Apple Watch.

But that's about as likely to happen as an SGI Irix laptop.

Fossil watches actually released a palm-based watch https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fossil_Wrist_PDA nobody could out-nerd me with that watch that lasted only a few hours per charge.
