Before iOS

Before iOS there was Palm OS. I remember having a Handspring Visor and a color Palm m505. The internal battery on the Palm eventually died. The Visor however runs on AAA batteries and is still going to this day. You could buy a MIDI adapter for it which you can see allows it to drive external gear in these videos from Palm Sounds. The software apps are still available at the miniMusic website. Palm OS was first to essentially have both the iOS layout and the simplicity of having your device morph into a singular specific tool depending on the app loaded. Apple basically turned it into a phone. I always wondered what the logic was behind Apple dismissing Android when Palm was first. It's curious that the comparison rarely comes up in the iOS vs Android wars.
