Changes
Palm, Inc. has changed the connectors it uses over time:
- some machines connect via Palm Universal Connector (Old Standard for Palm Handhelds)
- some machines use a standard Mini USB (Some Low-Budget Handhelds)
- some machines use a Multi-Connector (New Standard for PalmOne and Palm Handhelds)
The Connector can be used to charge the device, transfer data to a computer, HotSync, and play audio. It is the new standard to replace the previous Palm Universal Connector, which performed similar functions but did not have an audio output capability.
This port has also been used to connect to an external microphone or to GPS units
