With its Pilot and Treo handheld devices, Palm was once the king of the PDA and smartphone markets. After Apple took that crown with its wildly successful iPhone and iPhone 4, Palm fell on hard times and was purchased by Hewlett-Packard

HP's first Palm-based phones, the Pre 3 and Veer, are looking to reclaim the company's old perch in the smartphone marketplace.
