The Aceeca PDA32 was a semi-rugged handheld device running Garnet 5.4 released in 2010. The release gathered significant online press, for a non-consumer device, primarily due to the novelty of being a new Palm device released in 2010, when Palm itself had not released a new PDA in half a decade.

Designed for specialized applications, such as medical or educational systems, the PDA32 was a customizable product, available for purchase by client businesses in several different configurations built-upon a base device. Many of the PDA32 features were available as optional capabilities, including Bluetooth, WiFi, IR, SD card slot and even a 3.5mm headphone jack.
