Maybe 2007 or 2008, we will see the first release of PalmSource's Linux-based system. It will still run Garnet applications. The plan is to have "well written" Palm OS apps running on the Linux platform, to make the transition as easy as possible for developers and existing users of Palm OS. > I've read somewhere that the > new Palm Linux OS is based on Cobalt.

Everything I've read has been that Garnet applications will be supported, and it will also be possible to write native Linux apps using GTK+ as the graphics toolkit.
