These are the TRG guys re-branding their Palm-licensed devices under the
new HandEra brand name.

They are very cool. TRG are not only the guys who found that annoying
FlashRAM refresh hardware problem that crept into thousands of Palm and
Handspring units about a year ago, but they're also the first guys to
put 1GB of storage on a PalmOS device by building a Palm Pilot-type
thing with a Compact Flash slot in it, modifying the PalmOS to support
it, and then plugging in a 1GB IBM Microdrive.
