		pedalpete on March 28, 2011 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Apple Didn't Invent the App Store I thought there was an Palm download store back in the late 90's, for the Palm V and such, but I can't seem to find anything about it. Am I completely mistaken?? Couldn't you download apps for the old Palms?

Yes you could. There may have been a centralized "store" at some point, but I don't remember it. Palm OS let you install arbitrary executables, so you didn't need one.
