Palms were offline devices that only synced with your computer when put on a docking station.
You could read and reply to emails offline, book or cancel meetings, and sync with your computer later. The latest versions allowed you to snap pictures and listen to your music.
No servers running constantly. No data spilled everywhere. Days worth of battery on a single charge.
The future stole our cables, and it took our attention span and our privacy with it.

Heh, even this plastic its made of, looks better than on most todays laptops and smartphones.
And I bet it feels better and is much more durable.

@thibaultamartin Another advantage was that Palms were simple. You could run Palm software on Pi Pico, Esp32 and similar stuff. These days, Espruino / Bangle.js2 may be targetting similar devices... and I see value in that.
