A Palm PC is a computer which is designed to fit in the palm of your hand and is often referred to as a PDA device. Microsoft first attempted to create such a device in the form of its Palm-Size PC. Original models were different to the versions that people went on to associate with the devices in later years with screens with high resolutions that later gave way to higher quality colour displays. Over the years because of low sails and due to factors such as legal disputes, the name of the Palm Size PC has changed from Palm PC to Palm Size PC and then to Pocket PC.

Computers are constantly seeing new models and innovations that make the technology so long lasting and innovative. Computers are perhaps one of the most world changing inventions of the twentieth century, giving us the internet and many other advances in technology. With the need for devices to be smaller and more reliable, it is no wonder devices such as the palm pc were developed and we can still see hints of the technology in technologies such as laptops, which are forever getting smaller.
