Talk:Palm (PDA)

thread_title: Initial message

message: Someone set up a redirect from PalmPilot to Palm Pilot, but really it should be the other way around.  I don't think the name "Pilot" was ever used by the company while it was known as Palm; therefore "Palm Pilot" would be incorrect.  "PalmPilot," however, was a registered trademark (now abandoned), according to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office database.  —LarryGilbert 21:03, 2004 Sep 10 (UTC)
*Support. If this is wrong then it should be corrected – AxSkov (T) 07:46, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  "PalmPilot," not "Palm Pilot" 

message: The link to GO Corporation should have GO capitalized.  (I would fix this if the article were not locked.)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.141.112.200 (talk) 18:15, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  GO Corporation, not Go Corporation 

message: The article currently has very little about the actual PDAs... Dan100 (Talk) 23:01, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: In the light of the above and the borked move, I'm moving the article back to Palm Pilot. If you want to move it again - update the article to reflect your new title. Dan100 (Talk) 23:02, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  PDAs? 

message: ::I have bounced this page back to the "Palm (PDA)" title.  Why?  It certainly seems that the page is now a general page about PDAs produced by Palm.  If a separate page is needed for the Palm Pilot then fair enough, but this page certainly seems more general than that.  Brusselsshrek 20:21, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Back to PDA! 

message: There's no definition at the top defining a "Palm (PDA)", as opposed to specific models of Palm Pilot or whatever; it contributes to the unfocused feel of the article.  I know very little about it, but the article would definitely benefit from a good Wikipedia:Lead section. — Catherine\talk 18:26, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Good idea.  Done.  Sure someone will improve on my first attempt soon enough, great. Brusselsshrek 21:43, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Needs proper lead section

message: I read about Centro in the Wall St Journal today, and there seems to be some buzz about it around the web. I don't see anything in Wikipedia, but I don't know enough to write anything myself. Surely someone here has some info to share ... Guanxi 00:49, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  No mention of Centro? 

message: I noticed this article is missing from the PDAs category. Can someone please add the PDAs category :Category:Personal digital assistants to it. I would do it myself, but this article is locked, so I cannot. Thanks. -- Kpr00 09:51, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Please add to PDAs catagory 

message: There is no information on when previous models were released. --Kintaro (talk) 13:27, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lack of Year information 

message: I have gone ahead and added a little bit about the Centro and Treo 500v smartphones. I have also added a bit about the rumours of a new Treo. The intro to the page only mentioned the use of Palm OS so I also mentioned the Windows Mobile platform.

thread_title:  Gone ahead and added stuff 

message: I have added TX, TE2 and Z-22 as models no longer made, Alan Grassia has recorded that Palm no longer makes these models since March 2009: http://www.smartphonefanatics.com/2009/02/palm-halts-production-of-handhelds.html

thread_title:  Gone ahead and add new discontinued models 

message: : This is a class of RISC microprocessors that is widely used in mobile devices and embedded systems, and its design was influenced strongly by a popular 1970s/1980s CPU, the MOS Technology 6502.
Strongly? CPU's with 32 regs and mostly 1-t operations was influenced by CPU with 3 regs (relies to direct memory access instead of registers) and multi-t operations?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.80.172.26 (talk) 00:25, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, it is true, a quick Googling will show you, indeed the Wikipedia article on ARM discusses it. Back in the day when ARM was new this was well recognised. Clean design is one aspect. Endianness too from what I can remember. Register differences is not a good indicator, a counter indicator is the design of SWEET16, also the zero page of 6502 can be regarded as 256 registers. Also the designers of ARM worked on 6502 on the BBC micro machine. --19:25, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

message: How about fleshing out the table a bit and add launch date, memory size, initial and updated OS versions etc? As it is now it is hard to follow the progress, the data being scattered throughout the place. Using the existing table format makes for clear presentation. --19:28, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Chronology and more information 

message: I just added a pic of a palm IIIx on its page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:PalmIIIxPDA.jpg
Maybe add it to the timeline? P.S i have the OS 4.1 upgrade CD (in box) - I can put up a pic? james.bennet1@ntlworld.com (talk) 11:20, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
