By 2000, Palm had some 74 percent market share,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.theregister.com/2000/11/29/pocketpc_takes_marketshare_from_palm/|title = PocketPC takes marketshare from Palm}}</ref> however it was now losing relevance following the launch of Microsoft's [[Pocket PC]] platform.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.computerworld.com/article/2782090/competition-may-be-closing-in-on-palm.html|title = Competition May be Closing in on Palm|date = 4 January 2001}}</ref> In 2001 it was losing ground to Pocket PCs such as [[Compaq]]'s [[iPAQ]] (which all ran on [[ARM architecture|ARM]] processors) but also to [[Handspring (company)|Handspring]] devices.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://money.cnn.com/2001/11/08/technology/palm/|title = Palm CEO resigns - Nov. 8, 2001}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cnet.com/news/commentary-palms-fading-presence/|title = Commentary: Palm's fading presence}}</ref>

Palm Computing was spun off into its own company (called Palm Incorporated) in 2000. Handspring later merged with Palm to form palmOne in 2003 when Palm Inc. split into companies based upon selling hardware (palmOne) and the software ([[PalmSource, Inc.|PalmSource]]).<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2003-oct-29-fi-palm29-story.html|title=Palm Approves Merger, Spinoff|website=[[Los Angeles Times]]|date=29 October 2003}}</ref> In 2005, palmOne acquired the full rights to the Palm name by purchasing the shared rights PalmSource owned and changed names back to Palm again. PalmSource was acquired by ACCESS Systems in 2005, which subsequently sold the Palm OS source code back to Palm, Inc. in December 2006.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2003-oct-29-fi-palm29-story.html|title=Palm Approves Merger, Spinoff|website=[[Los Angeles Times]]|date=29 October 2003}}</ref>

Palm handhelds continued to advance, including the ability to access computer hard drives via [[Universal Serial Bus|USB]] cables, and began to merge with smartphones. The "[[Treo 700w]]" was one of the later offerings that combined a Palm handheld with mobile phone, e-mail, MMS, and instant messaging (SMS) technology. It was also the first Palm-branded device to use Microsoft software ([[Windows Mobile]]) instead of its own Palm OS. It became widely expected that Palm handhelds as a PDA-only device would disappear as multifunction handhelds like the Treo 650 declined in price. Multifunction handhelds generally include a wider range of abilities traditionally found in separate devices, for example: an MP3 player, mobile phone, camera, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The Treo 650+ was a series of smartphones that included a camera, mp3 player, Bluetooth, and a mobile phone. The Zire 71 and 72 series also had these additional features. In 2007, Palm released the [[Palm Centro]], a smartphone running Palm OS. Different in overall appearance from the Treo, it was most notably thinner. The Centro was a somewhat successful smartphone, combining many features with a decreased price. Palm later released the Palm Treo 500v, a device similar to the Centro, which ran [[Windows Mobile|Windows Mobile 6.0]].
