So I have dusted off my old Palm Centro and I wonder, is there any app for classic Palm OS that allows for the device to act as a wallet? I don't want this phone to gather the dust.

I do realize that Palm OS is a very, very old abandoned operating system, but I guess that it would be possible to write a Bitcoin wallet for it.

It might be possible to make one but there are none. It's already hard to get a wallet like Mycelium to work in older OS/phones like Samsung Galaxy, so let alone Palm Centro which is older (2007).

All (or almost all, if I'm wrong) Samsung Galaxy phones run Android, while Palm Centro runs Palm OS 5.4.9.

Palm OS SDK is difficult to find on the modern Web, especially as there are no official resources from which it can be downloaded. Palm failed long time ago.

Also, Palm OS wasn't even built with security on mind (lack of memory protection), when nobody even knew that smartphones (cell phone/PDA hybrids) will ever be invented, so it isn't suitable for large amounts of bitcoins, although it would be great to transfer Bitcoins on it at all.

For example, it's trivial to make a Palm OS trojan that will extract the private keys from a database (encrypted?) and the password and send them over the Internet to cyber-criminals. I doubt it, especially as almost no one uses Palm OS anymore, however, it's better to be safe than sorry.

Palm OS? haven't heard that in years. The OS discontinued on year when Bitcoin network came into existence, so i doubt there are any people who'd make Bitcoin wallet on Palm OS.

The only possibility is using web-wallet if the browser support modern JavaScript.

Sure, but isn't it possible to create a web-wallet which requires nothing more than Blazer's JavaScript support? Of course I know that it will be insecure!

I doubt you will be able to find anything useful for that OS since it is pretty old like other users mentioned.
I did a google search and came up with a few sites mentioning that Namecoin wallet used to support Palm OS a few years ago. This is the official site https://www.namecoin.org/download/ but it doesn't mention anything about Palm OS now obviously.

However this site http://bitcoin-wallet.fileflash.com/ (use it at your own risk) mentions that Namecoin wallets supported Palm OS.
I wouldn't trust anything posted there and would advice you to contact the creators of Namecoin and ask them if their earlier versions supported your OS.
 
They have a twitter, Github and reddit page at the bottom of their site https://www.namecoin.org/.
Use that to contact Namecoin.

I'm glad that they at least don't use Facebook. I hope competition-based social networking go away.

Instagram is also one of those. I don't know why girls care so much about winning as much so-called fake "hearts". They pull out their phone every single free moment and go to Instagram to check how narcissistic they are.

No, it doesn't. What's worse is that even Opera Mini won't deal with it.

Are there any non-JavaScript web wallets?
