PumpkinOS, a Re-Implementation of PalmOS

Nothing made me feel older than going to the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA and seeing a Palm Pilot in the display case.<p>It should be illegal to show things which were an integral part of your life, a short 30&#x27;ish years ago, as if they were uncovered in the ruins of some pre-civilization. Not fair at all.

This PumpkinOS project is pretty incredible. I can&#x27;t imagine how much effort it would take to be compatible with all the system calls that the average Palm app would expect. I remember Palm did some truly weird things with memory: anything moderately large would need to be put into a special memory block that the OS could rearrange at will, and one would need to lock the block&#x27;s handle to keep it stable while accessing it. Stuff like that must have been challenging (and fun) to implement in PumpkinOS.<p>This brings me back. I used to make little games for Palm OS, and I was so excited for the next version of the OS which would let one use the (then new) Palm OS Development Suite to make programs. It was also the last OS I&#x27;ve used where an app had a central event loop. Everything else today has UI frameworks that handle it for you. Things are easier now, but I still miss it.

Also possibly of interest: rePalm, a project to run PalmOS on ARM microcontrollers like the RP2040 - <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;dmitry.gr&#x2F;?r=05.Projects&amp;proj=27.%20rePalm" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;dmitry.gr&#x2F;?r=05.Projects&amp;proj=27.%20rePalm</a>

So hype to lose some hours playing Space Trader. I had a Palm Vx in middle school and I have some very fond memories of playing that game under my desk in class.

My heart thumped faster when I read this headline. Please make it work on Android so I can &#x27;replace&#x27; my daily driver and go back to a better time!

I remember investing in Palm thinking that they&#x27;d eventually be the ones to build something like the iphone. Sadly, they didn&#x27;t and when apple did that was it for them.

What would it take to get this on modern (or even last generation) phone hardware?<p>I bet we could do everything we want with tremendous simplicity and out of this world battery life... Probably would make a PinePhone feel like a Rolls Royce.

I was a Sprint customer from the start of the Palm phone era. Up until 2 years ago I was using colored Treo’s for my phone. I loved that mechanical keyboard it was so nice to use. ( I have slightly deformed fingers that make it hard for touch screens.). Merger with T-M killed the radio part. So sad to see it go.

I love this project existing and prolonging the life of all that software that would otherwise never have a chance to execute again, but is this about nostalgia or about a real need&#x2F;desire for that software?<p>Given how much people wax lyrical about Palm, Blackberry, Psion, outside of niche applications (I know IMAX needs Palm emulators to run bits of that stack), do people genuinely yearn for going back to the old days?<p>I was looking around for a &quot;modern&quot; Psion 5, and spotted some of the team had come up with the Gemini PDA which looks a bit like one, but is Android based. Some reviewers definitely find this a drawback. You can imagine a new EPOC operating system with support for modern connectivity would be a slam dunk for them, but then I found myself thinking I&#x27;d mostly run Linux on it (if I could find a new one in stock anywhere with a UK keyboard).<p>But then, do we all really want that? There has been a lot of progress in the last 20+ years, and I can&#x27;t help but feel if most people were offered PalmOS instead of Android or iOS as their daily driver it would be frustrating enough they&#x27;d hand it back within a week.<p>What&#x27;s the killer feature that makes that statement false?

Weird to think that Amazon&#x27;s kindle format used to be based on .mobi, itself based on the Palm&#x27;s database file type.

So palm OS was an old mobile operating system, introduced around 1996, coded in C++... later extended to support smartphones?<p>Can someone please explain more to me about this OS as it seems pretty interesting, and I have never heard of it.
