Yes. PalmSource will be releasing a future PalmOS running atop Linux. http://www.palmsource.com/press/2006/021406_accesslinuxplatform.html http://www.siliconvalleysleuth.com/2006/04/palmsource_show.html Personally, I'm excited for this. I've been a PalmOS fan since I owned a Handspring Visor. Yeah, I know PalmOS hasn't been the most stable handheld OS like it was with the Pilot, but I like it anyhow. Running Linux on a handheld is exciting to me because it makes development of handheld applications so much more accessible. I've tried several times to get into writing PalmOS apps from Linux. It seems all the documentation is at least a couple years old. I haven't been able to get anything working properly with any modern distributions. That's unfortunate, because I have a few ideas for applications and I'm sure others do too. Another very exciting thing about running Linux behind-the-scenes w/ the next PalmOS is true multitasking. I hope it starts showing up in devices soon. - -- Doran L.
