Keep in mind that PalmSource recently introduce a radically different operating system called Cobalt. I wouldn't be suprised if Sony is just talking some extra time to milk the new OS for all it's worth. Cobalt has a lot of new features for multimedia and wireless that should be right up Sony's alley.
Also remember that the split between PalmOne and PalmSource was supposed to benifit Sony, so I doubt that Sony is ready to jump ship on PalmSource quite yet.
