The
Palm rumor du jour calls for Palm to deliver its first,
Linux-based smartphone in an October release. According to the
DigiTimes source, the new OS will be based on
Wind River System's flavor of Linux already in use (and
buggy) in Palm's forthcoming
Foleo folly. That's right, Wind River,
not ALP. Really, we don't care whose OS it is, just as long as we never have to see Garnet rolled out on a new device ever, ever again. Of course, it makes sense for Palm to standardize on a low-risk, OEM-grade Linux platform so we'll play along with the rumor for now. Oh, and make it
ultra-thin with WiMax, please... pretty please, with sugar? We'll even move to
Baltimore if you do. Well...

Even if Palm releases something in the near future it will surely have a feature set that would have been considered mediocre by last year's standards.
