Palm Developing New Linux Powered PalmOS

More as it develops, but the big story so far from Palm's Investor Day today is that Palm has been working on a new version of the PalmOS that is based on a Linux kernel. Details are still very scant, but so far we know the following:

• PalmOS 5 devices (currently the latest version) will still be released later this year
• Devices based on the Linux kernel should be released by the end of the year.
• The OS is separate from the Access Linux Platform, it is Palm's own homegrown OS.
• Palm will not license the OS to other manufacturers
• It is highly likely that the new OS will use Opera as its default browser, given the recent agreement between Palm and Opera.
