good news. i hope they will make it such way that it will be as garnet compatible as possible (if few special hacks and applications will not work i don’t care) and it will be possible to write applications in some linux native api as well. prefereably such way that it will be simple to port applications. and i hope they will FINALLY support unicode…this is major thing i miss in palmos, currently its pain to make software which support locales well

Uuuiii! That is kind of bad news I would say and a bit like back to the past…now palm starts doing everything itself again Hardware & Software -why did they split in the first place??!!
It will be interesting to see whether access linux or palm-linux will be more successful. Perhaps palm aims more for american (north and south) and maybe European markets while access-linux will take asian markets. In any case, this whole thing will create loads of confusion and what I ask myself is: will apps for access-linux run on palm-linux?! AAAHHHH, it seems they are trying hard to drive people to windows… . My TH55 is still working fine- I just hope it will never break, but if it does in the near future, I guess I´ll go for a windows PDA, there is just too much confusion and instability and un-predictability with palm and access…
