What Does PalmPilot Mean?
The PalmPilot was the first generation of the PDA (personal digital assistant) product line that Palm, Inc. released in 1996. There were two models: the Pilot 1000 and Pilot 5000, which had 128 kB and 512 kB of memory, respectively. They were the devices that launched the Palm brand and PDA technology into the mass market, doing what previous generations of PDAs such as the Apple Newton had tried to do in earlier years.
Techopedia Explains PalmPilot
PalmPilots are, by today’s standards, laughably slow devices with their single-core Motorola processors clocking only at 16 MHz, up to 512 kB of memory and a non-backlight monochrome LCD with only 160 ×160 pixels of resolution. However, at the time, PalmPilots were considered very advanced.
