Title: Palm OS isn't dead, it's just going Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| ASIDE FROM a few Palm Treos, the Palm OS is dying as a credible
| alternative to Windows Mobile and Symbian. However, Cedric Mangaud,
| CEO with French software house, Abaxia, reckons it will be resurrected
| as a version of Linux.
|
| Abaxia was, of course, founded by ex-Palm employees and Mangaud
| believes we will see the classic Palm GUI sitting on top of a Linux
| based smartphone by next year [2007].
