Etymology

The term 'palmtop' emerged in the late 1980s and early 1990s during the rise of portable computing technology. The prefix 'palm-' refers to the size of these devices, which are often small enough to fit comfortably in the palm of a hand. As technology advanced, these devices evolved from basic organizers to sophisticated computers capable of running applications similar to those on larger systems. The introduction of touch screens and improvements in battery life contributed to the functionality and popularity of palmtops. Their decline in the early 2000s came with the rise of smartphones, which encompassed the features of palmtops and much more in a single device.
