> I don’t know if Palm was technically a walled garden, I’m guessing you could load from wherever, but practically it was

According to this Reddit thread [1], you could easily install applications to a Palm from a memory stick. Additionally, I am not aware that Palm applications needed to be signed by the device producer (i.e. the device producer could not decide which applications are allowed vs forbidden on the device).
