Hi,

Had a reminder to check out this groups (the reminder came out on
Mastodon). I have an old tablet somewhere running Palm OS, will
go looking...

A tablet? I'd be interested to hear about that. I'm always surprised to
find that there are still PalmOS devices out there that I don't know about.

Yes, it was some sort of educational-focused product concept, big
screen but running Palm OS (most apps just rendered in a portion of
the screen). But I can't find it... not sure it's still around. :-(

I have never heard of anything like this either. The Dana or the
(ever-rare) Folio, sure, but a tablet?

Wow, Dana and Foleo were interesting to read about, would love to learn
how the tablet was… "most apps just rendered in a portion of the screen",
intriguing how the utilisation of the rest of the screen could had been
done

Sadly, on the ones I saw it was blank/boring. Perhaps something
better came up in later SW versions?
