One of Palm’s entry level PDAs in the early 2000s: the Palm m105
Posted on March 5, 2026
The Palm m105, dropped in 2001, was peak early-2000s pocket tech—a no-nonsense PDA that gave you calendar, contacts, notes, and to-dos in a device that actually fit in your jeans. It packed 8MB of memory (double the m100), ran Palm OS 3.5, and ran forever on two AAA batteries, so you didn’t sweat charging cables. The monochrome screen wasn’t winning any beauty contests, but back then, just beaming contacts over infrared felt like sci-fi. It was the kind of gadget that made you feel organized without overthinking it, and for a lot of people, it was their first taste of going “digital” on the go.
