And for the record, it's "kernel" with an "e". Actually, the APIs are there, but Palm made a deal with Kadak to not include them in the SDK. And for the record, it’s “kernel” with an “e”.

(That's why Symbian UMTS smartphones usually handle the radio themselves, but I don't know what Windows Mobile does, as it is not able to handle the radio, alas Garnet). Other than that, OS 5 is fully capable to play/record voice while the TCP stack works in another thread. Test a VoIP app out there.

OS 5 uses a completely different kernal, and apparently it can't support UMTS. Actually, Kadak only provided the kernal for Palm OS 1-4.

It CAN. The kernel is real-time (although the OS isn't), it is able to do whatever you throw at it. Why do everyone believe that Garnet cannot do a 3G phone? It CAN.
