01 — About PalmOne.cd

We invented
the smartphone before it was cool

PalmOne created the PDA revolution. palmone.cd preserves that spirit in Central Africa and worldwide — repairable, focused, distraction-free pocket computers.

Our Mission • Kinshasa + World PalmOne Kinshasa innovation lab team working

From Silicon Valley to Boulevard du 30 Juin

Palm Computing (1992) → PalmOne (2003) → palmone.cd (2024). We rebooted the brand in the Democratic Republic of Congo to build affordable, ultra-durable handhelds for creators, doctors, students and field workers. No doomscrolling. Just tools that respect your time, your privacy, and your pocket.

Every device is serviceable with a single screwdriver, runs 100% offline-first, syncs via USB-C + infrared nostalgia port, and supports Lingala, French, Swahili and English.

Why Palm? Why Now? Hands holding vintage Palm Pilot and modern smartphone

Focus is the new luxury

Modern phones steal 4h 37m per day. PalmOne gives it back: e-paper companion display, physical QWERTY + Graffiti stylus, one-tap airplane focus, and a 3.5” + 6.1” dual personality. Write, plan, capture, call — then put it away.
