After Palm gave up on Garnet OS, the operating system has been held in the news by Aceeca. Janam, a company made up of former Symbol employees, as not stated much in the last months.

A statement by Janam now reads as following:

Janam Technologies LLC, a leading provider of rugged mobile computers that scan barcodes and communicate wirelessly, today announced the extension of its licensing agreement with ACCESS Systems Americas, Inc., the company formerly known as PalmSource that licenses Garnet OS (first released as Palm OS version 5). The amended agreement, which extends the original agreement by five years, enables Janam to continue to develop and sell its XP Series line of Garnet OS-based rugged mobile computers through 2017.

Even though the Aceeca PDA32 has superior hardware, its shipment issues have cost the manufacturer a lot of reputation – let’s see how it will all play out in the near future…

  1. The PDA32 has superior hardware?
    Compared to Janam’s XP20: Maybe (if you don’t count the camera). Compared to the hardware of the XP30, the PDA32 is everything but superior.

  2. Hi ahab,
    of course, the price and size issue also remains.

    But, you can very well be right. My time with the XP30 was very limited…

    All the best
