The PalmOS' Destiny back with Palm






Breaking news from the handheld world! Palm just bought licensed forever the Palm OS 5.4 (Garnet) source code from ACCESS, the company which until today, had proprietary control over it.  What does this mean?  Palm can fiddle with what some Palm peeps have affectionately (or infamously) christened "FrankenGarnet".  Yes it's been around for years, and despite what many have said, this Palm addict thinks it's got some life to it yet.

Of course, I'd rather see a Linux-powered Palm OS with a cooler name come out.  Did you know that the initials for "Palm OS" is "POS"? It's anything but, however that's not too flattering if you ask me!


Edit: Looks like the news got changed on me, it's "licensed" not "purchased" the source code now.
