[missing-sync-palmos-talk] OT - New Palm handhelds coming up ?

[Richard Harris]

Palm 6 (Cobalt) is dead, gone & pushing up the daisies. Palm's  
complete inability to write an operating system has led to a) the  
outsourcing of ALP (Access Linux for Palm) - the next great hope for  
the platform and b) if that doesn't arrive in time, Palm will either  
go under or become just another Windows Mobile device manufacturer.

Which leaves me stuck for a mobile platform - I even resurrected my  
Newton last week: 9 years on and all my data is still intact and it  
took less than 10 minutes to update it for Mac OS X. And the  
interface is a joy to use. Sigh...
cheers
