Apparently Palm will be delivering an open source Linux, linux platform for mobile devices later this year according to CEO Ed Colligan. The annoucement was made at Palm’s “Analyst Day” this morning and is being described as a “new foundation for Palm”. The platform will contain aspects of both Linux and Palm OS Garnet.
According to Colligan, Palm will not license the new OS to outside vendors, so if you want Linux on your handheld, you’ll need to hack your Pocket PC, buy a Sharp Zaurus or buy a Palm.
More information is available in an article at Palm Info Center.
