Fun With Code Names
On a whim, I just looked through all the various header files in the Palm OS SDK and in SDKs released by the different licensees. From this, I've compiled a list of codenames used for released Palm OS devices... this isn't comprehensive, but it does mention many of the major devices.
(HAL refers to Hardware Abstraction Layer -- its the layer of the OS between all the calls that programmers use and the actual hardware registers.)
