"Colligan also revealed that this was a new platform that Palm has been working on, in house for a number of years. He stated that Palm would not license this new OS to outside hardware companies, meaning this will be a Palm exclusive platform.
This is a separate project from Palm Inc and is not related to the ACCESS Linux Platform, which is being developed by ACCESS, formerly PalmSource. Many of the technical software and hardware details have yet to be announced. "
I'm with Ray. Palm hasn't had a good track record for OS development since their initial PalmOS 3 and maybe 4. I reboot my Treo 650 nearly as often as I do my HTC Wizard running WM5AKU3.3 ...neither PalmOS 5 or WM5 are great at memory management or cleaning up processes. I'd rather see Access release their own Linux, maybe with Quartz?
