Palm OS is the operating system behind Palm PDAs, phones and game devices - see
PalmSource
for details on the OS (recently acquired by
Access
, a Japanese software company. Hopefully, plans to port the
PalmOS GUI and APIs onto Linux will proceed despite this takeover, enabling use of
TWikiOnLinux to run TWiki on
PalmOS devices.
Currently,
TWikiOnPalm is not possible since there is no port of Perl to the rather primitive Palm OS, but it is possible to sync read-only TWiki pages onto Palms using various tools.
The maker of Palm PDAs and Treo smartphones is now called
Palm
again (formerly called PalmOne), and has launched one
WindowsMobile device (Treo 700) as of Nov 2005, just to really confuse things! As a result,
TWikiOnWindowsCE will be more relevant for Windows-based Palm hardware.

AcroWiki is a palm based TWiki compatible wiki. If they implement reading topics from an external card it could be useful when used in conjuction with the
SyncContrib

WikiZ is a new free Palm app to watch.

It simply lets you link between Memos (and appointments, todo, contacts, etc) using either camel case or user chosen tags. Useful for writing drafts which do link, while imagining the TWiki formatting from its raw syntax. Let its development slow down a while, and it might become a small handy tool.
