Palm handhelds are Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) which run the Palm OS. Palm devices have evolved from handhelds to smartphones which run both Palm OS and Windows Mobile This page describes the range of Palm devices, from the first generation of Palm machines known as the Pilot through to the latest models currently produced by Palm, Inc including their new Palm Centro line of consumer smartphones

After a calibration test during the first power on, the PalmPilot is ready for use. For PC connectivity, two versions of Palm Desktop were available, one in 3.5-inch disk format (for Windows 3.1) and another in CD-ROM format (for Windows 95). Palm Desktop is also available for Mac computers. Linux has various open source software packages that support the PalmPilot (Linux is one of preferred development platforms for Palm OS).

The hardware is similar to the first generation of devices (the Pilot 1000/5000), but added a Backlit Screen, more RAM, an updated version of Palm OS (2.0), enhanced PIM applications, expense management software and, for the PalmPilot Professional, the new TCP/IP-based network synchronization capability. This feature allows access to computer networks and, for users of Microsoft Mail, Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft Outlook, or Lotus cc:mail, allows them to create new messages, reply to or forward messages, and manage the contents of their desktop mailbox remotely.
