Palm OS To Run On Linux

Posted by timothy on from the funky-upstart-linux-os dept.

mwk88 writes "PalmSource today announced it is acquiring China Mobile Soft, a leading Chinese mobile phone software company, and will offer future versions of Palm OS Cobalt running on Linux. Full disclosure: I am a PalmSource employee -- but also a Slashdot reader, and would like to get some feedback. You can find more detail in this letter to the Linux community." NewsForge (also part of OSTG) has a textified (non-PDF), linked version of the letter.

  1. PalmOS on PalmOS devices first? by Carlos+Laviola · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I tried to contact Sony about changing PalmOS on my Clie, a Japanese NX70V, from the Japanese version to the English one, which my father has bought while on a business trip to Japan. I've simply been told that it is impossible to do that by a senior support specialist, while another told me that I should "search the net" for information on reflashing the device on my own! So I'm stuck with a cool device that makes me feel like I'm Bill Murray in Lost in Translation.
