Great slide show to take you back in time.

Man F@#$ Palm. I remember when everyone thought the Palm Vi was the greatest thing in the world... and it sucked ass. The price was way too much for what it was and guys like me ended up going with Handspring HP and Compaq which at the time were actually decent in their own right. Palm to me was nothing more than over priced crapola.

They got what they had coming to them.

Used a couple of different versions of Palm to get me through grad school and training.  My wife and I have Palm Pre's, which are pretty decent phones, aside from having limited app support.

Also the Treo is single handedly responsible for a complete reversal of what the form factor of a handheld should be like. The stupid chicklet keyboard was dumb dumb dumb.
