`
`At a time when just about everyone I know carries a smartphone with them all day, we take for
`
`
`
`
`
`granted the concept of having a handy pocket computer ready to take notes or do calculations.

`
`In 2018, Palm (now backed by big Chinese phone maker TCL) returned with the Palm
`
`

`
`

`
`
`
`
`
`doesn't get performance basics right."
