In Pictures: A Palm technology timeline

From the Pilot to the Pre, a look at Palm's hits and misses

This was Palm's first device to use Windows Mobile and marked the first time Palm had strayed from employing its own proprietary Palm OS operating system. Released a decade after the original Pilot device, the Treo 700w showed just how far mobile device technology evolved over a 10-year span by offering 312MHz of processing power, a 16-bit color touchscreen and 64MB of memory. The Treo 700w was still horrifically overpriced compared with what today's smartphones go for, however, as it was originally priced at $500 with a two-year contract with Verizon.
