Stop rearranging the players and fooling with history engadged. PalmSource (now a part of Access since late 2005) failed to deliver updated OSes to Palm. Nobody wanted Cobalt, PalmSource abandoned it and turned their sights to PalmOS on Linux. That too was abandoned when Access bought them.

It was only after the Access acquisition and a new contract between Palm and Access was worked out that Palm finally had any legal ability to go it on their own with a new OS. Now that we think we know they have had a UI team for a bit, they might actually deliver product on the schedule that has been alluded to. OS late 2008, products first half 2009.

you should get your facts straight. the palm os linux platform was not abandoned. right now its called the access linux platform and access is still working on it. the linux platform is not intended for palm devices but for other companies like NTT Docomo, which plans to use this os later this year.
