Palm takes a turn toward Linux.

"Palm is releasing a new operating system later this year... Palm is not moving toward windows, but turning on its blinker and making a right lane merge with Linux. More technically speaking, it will 'combine aspects of Palm OS Garnet and a Linux core' as Palm Info Center writes. The shift was seen as a necessary move to provide a better user experience with a phone that can support instant booting, instant application switching, and better battery life at a lower cost. The new setup will also run Opera as the browser of choice. Despite the announcement, Palm will continue to also support Windows Mobile phones."
