From 1999 to [[http://www.palminfocenter.com/view_story.asp?ID=5242|2003]] Handera was a Palm OS licensee, and during this time released two devices running Palm OS.

In late 1999 they released the [[http://pencomputing.com/palm/Reviews/trgpro.html|TRGpro]]. The name originates from the previous company name, the Technology Resource Group. This device featured CF card slot for expansion, and a speaker for WAV audio playback.

The second model was the [[http://www.palminfocenter.com/view_Story.asp?ID=1948|Handera 330, released in early 2001]]. A third device featuring a colour screen, the Handera 330c, was developed and [[http://www.palminfocenter.com/news/9282/interview-with-handera/|close to production]], but was never officially released ([[http://www.palminfocenter.com/comments/9282/#130681|1]]), ([[https://old.reddit.com/r/Palm/comments/cqzute/prepare_your_jealousometers_for_overload/|2]]).
