Saying that Palm's relationship with Mac is still spotty and mentioning the
Palm III is mixing oranges and grapes. True, Palm forced Mac owners to buy a

device was the m100 and it was first released more than 2 years ago.

Your issue isn't with Palm - it is with Samsung. Palm licenses the OS and it
is up to the licensee to build the hardware.
