On this day—June 25, 1998—Windows 98 arrived in stores, and that means it turns 27 today.
Although it still booted from MS-DOS, Windows 98 was a big step up from Windows 95

Early 2000s Sony dream team: the ultra-slim Sony VAIO PCG‑N505JE running Windows 98 and the iconic Sony CLIÉ PEG‑NX73V/E with Palm OS 5.
Both designed with elegance and innovation in mind.
No cables needed — I sync them the old-school way, via IrDA infrared!

An extremely rare deluxe “Champagne” body Palm Vx. 2002: “Palm unveiled the Palm Vx Limited Edition, a special version of the Palm Vx available only through the online store. The updated Palm V will come in two colors—Millennium Blue and Champagne.”
The first Sony “flip&rotate” PDA - Sony Clie NR70V.
This device, working with Palm OS 4.1, has a Yamaha audio chip, an audio remote, and a camera of 320×240 px.
It's a very interesting model. I think only NR70 has a 320×480 display and multimedia with Palm OS 4.1 🥰 Love it!
Happy Spring to all! My Pilot 5000 is in excellent condition, like new :) USRobotics introduced it in March 1996, 28 years ago!
Memory is kept in a “memory slot” under a plastic cover at the back top of the PDA. A 512 kB ROM chip stores the Palm OS 1.0 and resident applications.
