Longing for Revival of Palm

I finally upgraded my cell phone to another smartphone that was not a Palm phone. Maybe it's nostalgia. But for whatever reason, I am, apparently, a Palm fan. I can actually claim that I had the first smartphone -- Handspring. Don't know what it is? Back in the days when Palm made just PDA's (personal digital assistants), a few Palm folks broke off and created Handspring company. It was short lived. But it did make the first smartphone -- it combined your Palm PDA with a phone capability so that you can just click on your contact and call. It was big, with a clunky top module to convert the PDA to a phone... and got noticed by gadget loving guys (I got stopped a few times from folks who wanted to see the novelty).

Now that I upgraded to an Android phone, I long for Palm to make its revival like a Phoenix. Why? Because the Android interface is not as intuitive as Palm (I have a Palm Pixi). I never had an iPhone so I can't compare. But Palm's operating system is pretty intuitive and simple. Things aren't so convoluted to get around. Android, not so much. Android is kinda like knowing Unix -- it's great once you figure out all the roads, but it's not an intuitive road. Palm's operating system is clean, user-friendly, and uncluttered.

Here's hoping that Palm makes another revival. Until then, I guess I'll still keep my Palm Pixi around... and get used to my new Android phone.
