@arstechnica no mention of the Palm Lifedrive?

Probably one of the best Palm devices I ever used.

Granted it only had a 4gb hard drive, but it made for a great portable media device. This was back when iPods still had the small screens and touch wheel.

But you could stick 1 or 2 (sd) movies on it or a couple (sd) anime episodes and watch on the go with an app like core player. Core player was nice and could handle avi and h.264 files. But only standard definition. 720p was a thing then but it would stutter or not play at all on the lifedrive.

With the keyboard accessory it made for a great note taking device.

There was also universal remote software called Noviiremote for palm devices. You didn't need special codes, you simply copied IR signals from each button on the remote and you could design your own perfect Universal remote interface for each remote.

The Palm Lifedrive was amazing. I still own mine, along with the keyboard accessory and the dock.
