Jeff Hawkins developed the first , called Version 1.0, for use on the original PalmPilot 1000 and 5000 series. The PalmPilot Personal and Professional editions introduced the soon upgraded version 2.0. Later, version 3.0 was introduced with the launch of the Palm III series. Support for color, multiple expansion ports, new processors and other valuable services were added in versions 3.1, 3.3 and 3.5 to provide.

The introduction of Tungsten T, a PalmPilot designed for business applications, saw the launch of 5.0. This was the first Palm software that could be loaded on ARM devices. A significant feature with Palm software is that the newer versions are not radically altered from the older ones. In fact, a great deal of backward compatibility is required, as all new s are developed under the aegis of Palm Application Compatibility Environment (PACE).

PalmSource re-branded its operating systems in 2004. The Palm OS 5 was renamed to become Palm OS Garnet, and became . The dedication to constant improvement of its operating systems has made PalmSource the market leader in handheld software. PalmSource software now supports a wide selection of LCD panel resolutions, one-handed navigation, and telephony components.

Just a few examples of the most common applications that are included with the Palm OS are:

1. Address Book/Contacts: This versatile software allows personal information to be entered in several user-definable categories, providing several slots for phone or e-mail entries.

2. Blazer: This is a Web browser, providing access to the Internet for the new model smart phones and handhelds launched by Palm.

3. Date Book/Calendar: The date book and calendar software functions not only as a standard organizer, but can help the user maintain daily, weekly or monthly schedules through the application's alarm facility to alert the user.

4. Calculator: This gives Palm users the functionality of a standard 4-function pocket calculator. In the advanced mode, it will help the user can use perform specific jobs related to math, finance, statistics, logic, weight, length, area, and volume.

5. Expense: This application allows common business expenses to be easily tracked by the user.

6. HotSync: This is a very important software function that allows communication between the PalmPilot and the user's PC. It can be used for any number of functions, such as installing new software or backing up important data.

People would have a diary for writing all their engagements in and an address book for all their contacts. At the start of every year, or a little before for the very diligent, people would copy across all their addresses, birthdays and other pieces of information that they kept in their diaries and address books from the previous year into the current year's diary and address book.

Not so long ago, a Filofax was the personal organiser that everyone had to have. Its small made adding pages or sections, or taking them out very easy. People bought different covers for their , for example black leather covers or pink , and Filofaxes were seen very much as a status symbol. Filofaxes still continue to be very popular today and they make a number of different styles of personal organisers, with designs ranging from the classic to the contemporary. There are also many different accessories and sections you can buy for your Filofax, on top of the standard sections, depending on your interests and needs.

When the s came on the market a lot of people instantly ditched their Filofax for a Palmpilot and other similar makes of electronic organisers, or PDA's. These are small handheld electronic organisers which you enter your information into by using a stylus onto a screen. They can store all your appointments in a calendar and all your contacts including email contacts. They have many other features and applications such as areas for making notes, and electronic games.

The big advantage of an electronic organiser over a paper based personal organiser is that you can set reminders and alarms to bleep when you need to attend an appointment. You can also synch them with your personal computer so that all your appointments and contacts are kept up to date on both. If you have internet access on your PDA then you can also send and receive emails, surf the internet, and much more.

Since the launch of the Palmpilot, electronic organisers have continued to evolve. Most mobile phones come with personal organisers now and of course with the advent of BlackBerry's and other similar modern PDA's, it is like carrying your computer in your pocket wherever you go.

However, not everyone likes all the bleeping and flashing that goes on with an electronic organiser and so many people have remained true to their Filofax or other paper based diaries and personal organisers.

Whether your preference is for a paper based organiser or an electronic one there are so many different types on the market that you are guaranteed to find an organiser to suit you. Some people even go for the best of both worlds: having a paper based diary for their personal appointments and then using a PDA for their work related appointments and contacts.

The devotees to PDA's would argue that this isn't the best of both worlds and that it causes confusion running two diaries. They are happy to keep everything on one of the many types of electronic makes of organisers available today.

Whatever the outcome to the debate between paper based organisers and electronic ones may be, there is definitely one for you out there amongst the many types of organisers available. Don't miss out on making these organizers a tool for your business! They make great customer appreciation gifts, and your logo or company slogan is sure to stand out.Matt Franks is director of Fluid Branding, the UK's largest supplier of Promotional Organisers and Branded Organisers at www.fluidbranding.com.
