Palm’s New OS Plans and Apple Poaching [View article]
Palm has been talking about a more modern OS for about 6 years now.
It would be a wonderful idea to take the Palm UI and graft it onto a modern OS (like Linux) similar to the way that Apple grafted something similar to their traditional UI onto a more modern NextStep/BSD based core.
The difference between Apple and Palm, however, is that Apple is lead by a talented group of visionaries who knew how to make this happen. Palm, on the other hand, is infested by ex-3Com management whose arrogance far outweighs their talent or effectiveness. It's pretty extraordinary that they were able to take something as terrific as Palm once was and completely ruin it.
