Palm OS Gets a Farewell Party

We already know that Palm OS has been showed the door, with no more new devices shipping with the old, old (did I say old?) platform, aside from perhaps Centros on different carriers. The Hong Kong PDA User Group (HKPUG) just held a farewell party in early March for the late, lamented OS and has posted some photos from the event.

Despite its current critics, Palm OS was, for a time, dominant among PDAs and smartphones. Palm's mistake was not keeping on top of things by creating a new OS to take its place.

As an previous owner of a PalmPilot 1000 (it's been so long, I'm not even sure that's the correct name for it), I have to wax nostalgic about the old OS. Still, the Palm Web OS and the Palm Pre are long overdue.

RIP, Palm OS. More pictures and details here.
