ALP Delayed to 2007

It seems that Access' next generation handheld platform, known as Access Linux Platform, hasn't quite made timing as promised earlier this year. Access announced in February of this year that they would have the ALP operating system ready for developers by the end of 2006. Then earlier today they stated that they are pushing back this time to sometime in the first half of 2007.

What does this mean, Access? What are you trying to tells us? Is your operating system not working? Have you even begun making it? Are you out of coffee and donuts?

Questions are beginning to fly around as people learn of this news. But I like to think of it as a good sign: that Access is taking their time to make a platform worthy of succeeding the original PalmOS operating system.
