What does Palm OS provide for hand held devices?
Palm operating system was designed to ease the use of touch screen and multi-featured mobile devices with the implementation of user friendly features and functions. The operating system is usually implemented into such systems that are mobile or hand held with the use of touch screen to operate them. The OS provides many features and functions which other operating systems do not, such as; personal information management, application accessing, accessing games and accessing the internet.
