*imagines a module made for Handspring PDAs that leverage an esp32/s3 to allow for easy connection to modern wifi networks*
wasn't such a thing already basically concocted for classic Macs?

Three colours of #handspring visor edge #pda (2001)
Here are three films where I missed something the first time. "Aliens" used some Apricot Xis as set dressing. "Jurassic Park" has a fleeting glimpse of an Apple Powerbook 100 and what appears to be a pre-production version of a (new to Starring the Computer) Motorola Envoy. Finally, "Charlie's Angels" has some shots of the guts of a Apple Power Macintosh G3 and two more debutantes: the Handspring Visor and the Roda RC586.

The perfect retro photo setup. #handspring visor with #eyemodul and backup card #pda
In the late 90s/early 00s I used the #Handspring visors for a while (Deluxe in blue followed by Edge in silver)
Next were the Nokia internet tablets running #maemo, including the #NokiaN950 (#meego harmattan)
Also the Nokia communicators, including the #NokiaE90
More recently rocking a #GPDpocket, but that's out of scope for this poll.

I paid too much and had to ship it from the US… But finally it is mine: #eyemodule camera for the #handspring visor #pda
I'd seriously love to see a project to run Palm software on Android smartphones.
Does anyone know of such a thing already existing?

@atomicpoet @rasterweb Exactly this. Well almost, since I had a #Handspring Visor, but still...
How much stuff you could fit on those 8 MB!
A friend of mine was convinced back then that the Treo, arguably the first Smartphone and designed to replace the Visor, could never, ever be a success because "How can you take notes or look up something while talking on the phone? We NEED two separate devices!"
What a pity that Jobs guy did never get the memo... *sigh*
I finally got around to watching @theverge documentary on #Handspring and it was fantastic! #Palm and #Handspring were both my first mobile devices and this brought me right back.

This Handspring Visor Pro didn't come with a sync cradle, so rather than buying one, I decided to modernize it a little bit. I used an Adafruit USB-C breakout board, and some not-so-great Dremel work, to add a USB-C port on the side. It's only wired for USB right now, but since it has 8 contacts, I may be able to use the remaining contacts to connect with serial over a USB cable. I have a few ideas for that...
Lovers of Gadgets!
discovered an intriguing website that lists load of old PDAs,
some really intriguing ones
I bought 2 of these Siemens IC35 from the old tech website Expansys
loved them, but could never get them to work properly!

I wish every modern device includes a screwdriver .. #pda #handspring
@Benni Nett, aber natürlich nix gegen die echte Hardware. Mein letzter #Handspring Visor mit #Palm-OS ist auch nach über 20 Jahren noch lauffähig. Ich müsste nach der langen Auszeit allerdings nochmal die zusätzliche Software nachinstallieren. Und gucken, ob die USB-Treiber unter den neueren Windowsversionen noch funktionieren. Und ggf. das Windows 98 oder XP reaktivieren. Und ... naja, lassen wir das.
😄
Der Emulator ist fein!
I have a #Handspring PDA, with the box somewhere, was exceedingly helpful, once.
