That's good to know ...

... I've been doing a bit of Palm development recently, & have just started learning Smalltalk in order to develop Palm software using Pocket Smalltalk.

PALM OS

I'm glad to hear this, I really do not like MS, and try to avoid MS software where possible, they shoud keep PALM OS for people like me :).

i hate windows mobile, PALM is where itz @

this statement in the above article that says " "And many of those companies simply aren't open to products that use another OS." thats called a monopoly , like MICROSOFT , i hate to see palm die, i cant stand windows mobile, it is lame, it reminds me of windows 3.1!

Windows Mobile has great potential (v5.0)

I would recommend looking at the latest (windows mobile v5.0). I have always found that MS greatly enhances its application over time and mobile 5.0 is another example ...

Palm OS is simply the best there is

I've used both the Windows platform & the palm platform - in my opinion there is simply no comparison - Palm OS wins out in every way - more available software, easier to use, easier to learn, etc etc. The only people I've met who think they like the Windows platform better have never actually tried a Palm device, so they simply don't know what they're missing out on. :)

Sure they are!

How many times have we heard that?

Simply put; Palm won't be deciding the success of their OS. :)

If all the developers shift to an OS that's available on Palm and other devices where is their incentive to stay with Palm OS that only runs on Palm devices?

I don't see the promise of continued support and development of Palm OS as saying it will make any kind of come back.

recently updated

I had a m105 for a few years, just upgraded to a zire 31, then palm announced the z22 and for the same price I paid for the zire 31, I could have bought a z22 that has everything the zire 31 has, plus more memory. For a week or so, I was ticked, but now that I'm using the zire 31, I'm happy again. Glad I didn't have to overinvest in a pocket-pc that does the same thing a zire does, only for more money.
