Palm announces Linux Palm

Palm has announced a venture into the world of the Tux (linux) today with a surprising move to try and revamp the stagnating palm OS, there has been a small and strong growing push within hand held computing devices for a linux solution. There is a few rom sets in development to replace the windows OS on pocket pc devices but no fully supported fully finished solution to replace the Windows Mobile OS with a linux os, this in mind Palm could be hunting for a new foothold back to attempt to reclaim its lead in the computing world. More available here which is palms official press release.

    Yea if they could develop something along the lines of the iphone - ish type functionality that would help. For some reason a lot of corporations use the treo's law firms especially. Palm needs better designs.

  2. From a business point of view, the Treos have the best form factor. A smartphone with touchscreen is what I consider a superb phone.
