Satire | PALM, n. A species of tree having several varieties, of which the familiar "itching palm" (Palma hominis) is most widely distributed and sedulously cultivated. This noble vegetable exudes a kind of invisible gum, which may be detected by applying to the bark a piece of gold or silver. The metal will adhere with remarkable tenacity. The fruit of the itching palm is so bitter and unsatisfying that a considerable percentage of it is sometimes given away in what are known as "benefactions.". Source: Devil's Dictionary. |
Literature | Palm An itching palm. A hand ready to receive bribes. The old superstition is that if your palm itches you are going to receive money. "Let me tell you, Cassius, you yourself Are much condemned to have an itching palm." Shakespeare: Julius Caesar, iv. 3. To bear the palm. To be the best. The allusion is to the Roman custom of giving the victorious gladiator a branch of the palm-tree. Source: Brewer's Dictionary. |

Arecaceae (also called Palmae or Palmaceae) is the palm family, belonging to the order Palmales.
The typical member of this family is the areca nut, which is chewed with the betel leaf and often confused with it. Rattan and coconuts also belong to this family.
Palm sap is sometimes fermented to produce palm wine.

Palm tree - (Heb. tamar), the date-palm characteristic of Palestine. It is described as "flourishing" (Ps. 92:12), tall (Cant. 7:7), "upright" (Jer. 10:5). Its branches are a symbol of victory (Rev. 7:9). "Rising with slender stem 40 or 50, at times even 80, feet aloft, its only branches, the feathery, snow-like, pale-green fronds from 6 to 12 feet long, bending from its top, the palm attracts the eye wherever it is seen." Tadmor in the desert was called by the Greeks and Romans Palmyra, i.e., "the city of palms." The finest specimens of this tree grew at Jericho (Deut. 34:3) and Engedi and along the banks of the Jordan. Branches of the palm tree were carried at the feast of Tabernacles (Lev. 23:40). At our Lord's triumphal entrance into Jerusalem the crowds took palm branches, and went forth to meet him, crying, "Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord" (Matt. 21:8; John 12:13). (See date.)

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Palm OS is an operating system made by PalmSource, Inc for personal digital assistants (PDAs) manufactured by PalmOne, Inc and other licensees.
History
Palm OS was originally developed for use on the original Pilot by 3Com. Version 1.0 was present on the original Pilot 1000 and 5000 and version 2.0 was introduced with the PalmPilot Personal and Professional.
With the launch of the Palm III series version 3.0 of the OS was introduced. Incremental upgrades occurred with the release of versions 3.1, 3.3 and 3.5, adding support for colour, multiple expansion ports, new processors and other various additions.
Version 4.0 was released with the m500 series, and later made available as an upgrade for older devices. This added a standard interface for external FS access (such as SD cards) and improved telephony libraries, security and UI improvements.
Version 5.0 was the first version released to support ARM devices. Described as a stepping stone to full ARM support, Palm apps are run in a emulated environment called PACE, decreasing speed but allowing great compatibility with old programs. New software can take advantage of the ARM processors with ARMlets, small units of ARM code. It was also roughly this time when Palm began to seperate it's hardware and OS efforts, eventually becoming two companies, PalmSource, Inc (OS) and PalmOne (hardware). Further releases of PalmOS 5 have seen a standardised API for hi-res and dynamic input areas, along with a number of more minor improvements.
Palm OS 5.2 and 4.2 (and later) also feature Graffiti 2, due to the loss of a patent infringement lawsuit with Xerox. This is based on Jot by CIC.
PalmSource, Inc have announced they will be releasing Palm OS 6.0 to licencees in late December 2003. This is to be the completion of the migration to ARM devices, and allow ARM native applications along with improved mulitmedia support.
Built In Applications for Palm OS
Address
The Palm's Address program stores personal information, keyed by any of several user-definable categories. Entries are displayed and sorted in last name, first name order (this can be changed only to Company, Last Name order). There are five slots for phone or e-mail, each of which may be designated Work, Home, Fax, Other, E-mail, Main, Pager or Mobile (the slot designations cannot be changed).
For the Tungsten T3, this application is called Contacts.
Calculator
Calc turns the Palm into a standard 4-function pocket calculator with three shades of purple and blue buttons contrasting with the two red clear buttons. It sports square root and percent keys and has one memory.
Date Book
Date Book shows a daily or weekly schedule, or a simple monthly view. The daily schedule has one line per hour, between user-selected begin and end times. Clicking on an empty line creates a new appointment. Empty lines are croweded out by actual appointments, whose start and stop times are shown by default bracketed in the left margin.
An appointment can be heralded by an alarm, any number of minutes, hours or days before it begins. These alarms sound even when the unit is switched off.
Appointments can recur in a specified number of days, weeks, months or years -- and can contain notes.
For the Tungsten T3, this application is called Calendar and allows catagorisation of events, as well as featuring a summary screen similar to that found on PocketPC devices.
Expense
The Expense application allows a user to track common business expenses. No totals are calculated on the Palm. The user must synch with a host computer and view the expense data in a worksheet (templates for Microsoft Excel are supplied).
Memo Pad
The Memo Pad can hold notes of up to 4,000 characters, keyed to user-configurable categories. Memos are ordered in two ways: alphabetically, and manually (which allows the user to choose the order of the memos). Memo Pad is for text, not for drawings. For this reason, text in Memo Pad must be entered using the Graffiti alphabet.
For the Tungsten T3, this application is called Memos, and the limit has been increased to 32Kb.
Note Pad
Drawings go in Note Pad. You can squeeze up to 10 words per page, if your writing is neat. Otherwise, it's better to put text in Memo Pad. There are three sizes of drawing crayon, plus an eraser. It's possible to draw a very simple map.
To Do List
Also referred to as Task list.
This is a convenient place to create personal reminders and prioritize the things you have to do.
Each To Do List item may also have: a priority, categories (to organize and view items in logical groups), attached Note (to add more description and clarification of the task).
To Do List item can be sorted by: due date, priority or category.For the Tungsten T3, this application is called Tasks and alarms may be assigned to tasks.
Add-on Applications
There are many successful Palm add-on applications. As of August 2003, there are more that 19,000 add-on applications available for the Palm platform, including freeware (free for all), shareware (try before you buy), and commercial applications.Source: adapted by the editor from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia under a copyleft GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) from the article "Palm OS."
(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Palm Pilot was the name given to several early models of personal digital assistant manufactured by Palm, Inc (when it was a subsidiary of U.S. Robotics or 3Com). More recent models of PDA manufactured by Palm are not named Pilots due to name infringement lawsuits brought on by the Pilot pen corporation, but "Palm Pilot" has entered the vernacular as a synonym for PDA, sometimes regardless of whether they are manufactured by Palm or run the Palm OS.
Palm Pilots ran on the popular dragonball processors, a Motorola 68000 derivate. Newer ones run on a ARM, a RISC microprocessor that is widely used in mobile devices and embedded systems.

Palm's LogoPalm, Inc. was founded in 1992. It was acquired by U.S. Robotics Corp in 1995. In June 1997, Palm became a subsidiary of 3Com when U.S. Robotics was acquired by 3Com. 3Com made the Palm subsidiary an independent, publicly traded company on March 2, 2000, and is traded on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol PALM. In August 2003, the hardware division of the company was renamed to palmOne, Inc.
