Image:Pspc.jpg The Palm-Size PC was Microsoft's first attempt at a computer conforming to an 'in your hand' profile (or, as commonly referred to, a PDA).
These devices demonstrated many firsts for this form factor, including wave sound output, comparatively high-resolution screens with later versions even having colour displays and a standardized software environment that ran on licensed OEM hardware platforms.
Palm-size PCs were unique in that they were one of the few standardized modern computing platforms that did not use any standard microprocessor - Palm-size PCs were available with ARM, SH3, MIPS, and x86 processors. The Palm-Size PC was never hugely successful, and Microsoft later refreshed the release into a more unique package as the Pocket PC.
