How To Change The Battery In A Tomtom Xxl

I went $300 into debt to my parents when I was nine years onetime for a Handspring Visor Deluxe. It had 8MB of RAM, a sixteen-ish MHz DragonBall processor, and ran Palm OS 3.1H3. I vaguely retrieve the Handspring version (H3) of the Os having a few boosted goodies like a globe clock and improve notes app. A year or two layer my buddy Will bought a Palm Vx at a yard sale and I beamed him the Space Trader PDB considering it was my favorite game.

Good times. I recollect reading virtually the Springboard modem modules that were available and thinking how cool it would be to take the internet in your pocket and conversation with friends on the go... if merely I knew :-P


Thank you for posting that, I really enjoyed watching it. I had a Treo 650 in the 2000s and loved it, despite its flaws.


I bought an MP3 Springboard module. Friend of mine asked "Where is the 'finish' button on that thing?" "In that location isn't one. In that location's cypher to terminate."

I really enjoyed mine equally well.

Sometimes it would simply bleed the bombardment, and gone was all my information. As a young adult, all my appointments would exist gone and I was left wondering if I was forgetting an appointment.


I but discovered that the original source code of Space Trader every bit well as Coffee and C# ports are bachelor on github.


I bought a m105 from my own pocket money. I used it for years. It was neardy only I loved this thing. Later switched to Windows CE / Mobile. My God these things where powerful. First smartphone was a Web OS device for me. Never had a better Hardware keyboard device. I was So fast on that thing. Sadly there is no upward to engagement smartphone with a horizontal keyboard. I need it and so bad for termux. Distressing days... Blackberry will introduce a new phone in 2022. The priv and the keyONE do not run into my expectations regarding power.

Ha, I started with Windows CE "Pocket PC". An HP iPaq H1930 iirc and then a Dell Axim x50v.

These devices were really niche, to say the to the lowest degree. I've never seen some other than the mines. Notwithstanding, at that place was an astonishingly loftier number of bachelor applications. Some developers from this era, particularly game devs, are now great mobile devs.

Talking virtually games, at that place were some real gems on those devices. Hell, there was even an Age of Empires port. Information technology'southward sad that they are mostly lost.

Windows CE was really interesting, but irritating to use.

The Start Menu on such a modest screen was a very weird thing. It was clear that Microsoft was uncomfortable with anything that pointed abroad from their mainline desktop experience, they were always trying to reassure you that this calculator in your pocket was a Real Windows™ Device.

Just the cleaned-up API, and the Execute In Place, and exFAT were all to the good side, slimming down to fit mobile hardware. And their communications stack was far superior to PalmOS at the time.

I loved my Palm Pilot IIIx, though. Loved the Macintosh-like API. Dead simple to make the switch to that platform if you'd written a couple of Archetype Mac apps.

I remember getting looks on the train on my commute to work playing Tomb Raider on my Pocket PC. Yous'd concord the device in landscape and employ a combination of onscreen buttons and hardware controls. Information technology behaved very much like the Nintendo Switch just a few years prior to the Nintendo DS (and with a larger screen too).

I loved that device.

My mum had a blueish Handspring Visor, which was great for playing Bejeweled on long car journeys in 1999! At the time I used a personal organiser from Time Magazine to note down homework assignments.

In 2006, a friend at my parent'southward Bible study group donated an regionalised HTC Himalaya (Orange SPV M1000) running Windows Mobile 5. It was so powerful! My favourite was pPod, an iPod emulator. Information technology could also run MSN messenger, and even though it needed a separate SDIO WiFi card to connect, information technology was possible continue chatting to a certain daughter in California even after my bedtime XD

Is there a place like MacintoshGarden/MacintoshRepository/WinWorldPC for old Pocket PC or Palm apps? I've got a small drove (Pocket PC below):

Lamentable, I tried but it got taken downwards pretty much immediately. Feel gratuitous to reach out to me personally though! I recall it's a pity that the first-class workmanship that went into that software is now no longer being recognised, because the legacy devices aren't for auction. They were practiced tools!


That Palm Pre keyboard was truly something else. Sad we'll never see anything else similar it.


I had the Pre2 and Pre3, those were the best phones I ever had. I tin't believe they failed. At the time I also had both an iPhone and a Nexus (I was developing mobile apps) and the Pre'south were my daily drivers. I even got the HP TouchPad and used that equally a daily commuter also. I worked some of my web development from that tablet. Information technology was damn great. It is a tragedy that webOS for mobile devices is gone.

I besides had an m105. I used it in school growing upwardly. I was really expert with graffiti, I could write simply equally fast on the graffiti system every bit I could write in print. It too meant I had very well formatted notes for all my classes backed up on my computer. I would also write up a lot of crude drafts on my pilot to be cleaned up and finally edited on a desktop for all the papers I had to write for classes.

I later upgraded to a used CLIÉ PEG-SJ22. It was an awesome upgrade. with the loftier-res (320x320) color scree But having an actual USB port on it made information technology so much more useful every bit then I could easily transfer things from school computers to home.

I've heard expert things almost these mini chorded keyboards you can use with your phone to avoid on-screen keyboards. Patently nowhere well-nigh equally convinient as congenital in, only it seems its the best we've got.

Oh other than that pinephone keyboard case, just that requires you to change telephone besides

When talking virtually bombardment life and general usability, nothing beats PalmOS notwithstanding. With weeks of battery life, it but took 3~4 key press/strokes to outset jogging downwards something or checking schedules tomorrow, etc. Nothing on Android or iOS can beat it even without counting passcode clearance.

It was truly a golden age for handhelds. TONs of apps probably because of developer friendly plus the great eco system. I ever wonder what would happen if national network coverage and spider web apps on Palm Os were better.

I loved my Palm device! The ane matter I practise think mod devices become amend is text input.

When the iPhone was released, I was skeptical about its soft keyboard, but I was amazed at how much faster I could type on information technology than I could write with Graffiti. (And I was pretty good at Graffiti -- version 1 of course, non that atrocious Graffiti 2 trash-tier imposter.)

Oh, Palm Vx. I miss that affair. Days of battery life, piece of cake to use, and simple to sync.

I still write my upper-case 'Due east' in jot.

I miss you, PalmOS.


I cringe to call up that, on a appointment in a Manhattan restaurant, I once showed a adult female my PalmPilot. She was securely unimpressed, and went on to marry an A-listing celebrity, which simply pours table salt on the digital wound.

Hah I retrieve my Palm Treo so fondly. 2008 was such exciting times. I was a Jr. SysAdmin and y'all just couldn't be libation than some slick PHP/MySQL/jQuery work. The Honda Civic SI of all cars had the coolest motor effectually and tech was at its almost optimistic.

Those were the days!

Had the IBM Workpad c3 (Palm Five with an IBM logo on the case). Got information technology second paw from a local IBM employee.

Read loads of books on it while walking to university (1 hour each way) with iSilo. Dropped it on the road once and information technology was barely scratched. Played likewise much SimCity during lectures.

And yes, some of my terrible handwriting bears a potent resemblence to Graffiti.

Upgraded at some point but didn't feel the later models were a great comeback. I really liked that monochrome screen!

Palm IIIe. Swell little device I had as a kid. Sim City, Strategic Commander, some other games. BASIC, Lisp, mayhap some other interpreters also?

And AvantGo web browser, which primary fashion of operation was syncing pages with a desktop reckoner to view offline.


Oh the nostalgia! Every app I tried so far seems to piece of work: Space Trader, SFCave, drawing little animations in Diddlebug... great memories :)

Space Trader.

I played that one before I knew what "Narcotics" meant, and I quickly plant out why the police were so interested in my cargo.

In that location was also a game... Hamlet Sim I call up. You'd spend hours building up a village on a desert island (which ran persistently), hoping there were more people born by tomorrow morning. But to find that a tornado had struck the island and all had perised except a single elderly human being.

Space Trader was a time sink, I played it and then much on My Palm Vx and that Blue Palm Zire 71.

Loved both, both were stolen unfortunately otherwise I would have them.


What framework is the UI built in (the emulator, not Palm itself)? I don't know if it'southward like this because I'm on an iPhone, but it's the most app-like web UI I've experienced.


I had a 2 60 minutes train commute in 2000 - and a Palm V with a Along (QForth?) and a copy of the SDK manual on it. Fun times! Really taught me a lot...

Palm Zire 72. It had a freakin photographic camera!

I remember reading newest Harry Potter book on that thing.

You love those gadgets much more when you're a kid.

I still have a few photos from the 71 boot around.

The universal remote app was fun at academy student wedlock.


The fact that someone nonetheless bothers to develop for Palm OS warms my heart. I haven't yet tried Wordle. I will take to give this a go on my Zire 31.

Here's the list of Palm OS installers from my parents' athenaeum. Is in that location a site similar WinWorldPC/MacintoshRepository/Macintosh Garden where these are shared? Let me know if you'd like whatever :)
