Nah. I love my palma 2 and can do plenty with it if you accept no cell phone capabilities it's great. I don't see the appeal of a device with worse refresh rate, a keyboard that needlessly eats screen space, and UI that doesn't trust you as a user.
Edit: I suspect people are reacting without knowing wtf a palma 2 is, lol.
What all do you use your Palma for? Can you get any third party apps on it? I have a Boox tablet from a few years ago and it's great for taking notes, but a palm sized eReader has been pretty alluring to me for a while.
I use Aurora store and Fdroid on it. Funny considering direct play store is a selling point of theirs. I mostly use it as an ereader but it's also my work phone since intune doesn't play nice with grapheneos. Being able to fit my ereader in a pocket has been amazing. I rarely leave home without it
You ever try any Spritz reading apps on it? Spritz is an e reading software that displays one word at a time at whatever words per minute you choose. Good for speed reading, but for some reason it's controversial amongst my reading friends lol. My Boox Nova 3 can play videos, so I'm sure the Palma has the refresh rate
I bet the frame rate is fine. Response time is the potential issue. I bet it'd reel like frequently pausing an audiobook with old bluetooth earbuds, which is to say vaguely usable.
