I commented earlier on that BrightHand article. The idea was this device should run PalmOS, WM or maybe even the new Palm OS II (or whatever it will be called).
My take on it: Palm AND new formfactor AND new technology AND new OS all in the same device ? No way. Palm is too conservative to do that. PalmOS will not be able to handle WiMax so that only leaves WM for me. Besides, ultra-thin means small battery. That combined with WiMax is also unlikely to me. Greetz, Nico.
