>In what kind of devices is PalmOs currently used?
Currently... hand-held connected organizers, barcode scanners, and as a symbiote OS in
cell phones, with more exciting new devices under development every day.

That depends on the embedded environment. And doing so requires obtaining a license
from Palm Inc. -- or in other words, such a partnership has to be worth our while too.
Currently we're focusing all of our resources on the partnerships and projects we have
today.
>Is there concept of multitasking in PalmOs?
Yes, however, only certain licensees of the device are allowed to use the native
multitasking kernel features at this time. The Palm OS APIs do not expose this level
of engineering to 3rd party developers, for both engineering and licensing reasons.
>Is PalmOs realtime operating system?
No. There are no time-based guarantees for any OS services.
>Has anyone seen any Bluetooth solution for Palm device?
Yes, but if I told you about them, I'd have to kill you. (Heh heh... ;o)
