I was just reading through the information over at Palm InfoCenter about the new Linux-based mobile computing platform. It sounds a bit more grown-up that a PDA type OS.
The big news about the new platform and the new Palm hardware is likely to come in May but today’s news definitely gives some good hints.
- Instant on
- Long battery life
- Focusing on connected web applications [sounds like a thin client]
- Greater hardware flexibility. [mmm. Linux. Hardware flexibility?]
- To be offered direct to customers and eventually through carriers [I hope they kick the carriers into offering better data tariffs.]
- Garnet OS will be integrated somehow.
- Low cost.
Nokia N800 competitor springs to mind immediately!
