If you was tech-savvy like me in 2000s, you probably knew at least one person that had a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant). If you don't know what it is, it was a pocket touchscreen computer that was similar to smartphones today, except you couldn't call and it didn't connect with the Internet (well, unless you had an extension card).

This is a photo of a PDA:



Pretty similar to modern smartphones, no? Since these thingies didn't had an Internet connection and the only built-in communication methods were cable and IrDA, I thought up that it is possible to write a specialized app for old PDAs that allows it to be used as a cheap cold wallet.

I choose Palm OS, since they are easy-to-use even today, they are easy-to-find and there were only very few viruses ever released. Also, there is wide variety of Palm OS PDAs - from prehistoric Palm III from 1998 up to Palm TX from 2005.

Is there any app for Palm OS that allows me to use my old Palm Vx as a cold wallet? It must be open source, we all know why.
