Why use Palm OS devices in 2020

Here I discuss why I continue to use Palm OS devices in the year 2020, focusing on two relatively new Palm OS 5 devices (the Palm T|X and Treo 700p). These still have decent internet connectivity as well as a plethora of internet, productivity, PIM, programming, gaming, and emulation apps available. I also discuss some differences with the Palm OS 1-4 68k devices, but I forgot to note that for the most part these have true serial connections while many Palm OS 5 devices are purely USB, which has implications for use as serial consoles.
