The Palm family album

Palm is celebrating its 10th birthday this year (on March 27, to be exact), so we thought it'd be nice to get the gang together for a family portrait.

After all, the company has come a long way since it first launched the original PalmPilot 1000, which debuted with 128K of memory and a 16MHz Samsung processor. Since then, we've seen Palm evolve its product line, ranging from the Palm IIIc to the Palm m105 and the Palm Treo 270, for example; go through several name changes; and even make friends with the enemy.

All in all, it's been an action-packed decade. Unfortunately, due to limited space, we couldn't track the entire Palm genealogy, but we have the latest group of PDAs and smart phones from the company. From the granddaddy of them all, the Palm Treo 650, to the cute baby of the group, the Palm Z22, Palm has a long tradition of producing some fine PDAs. Get to know the family.
