Just wanted to get that quoted so I could refer back to it after this is released. I seem to recall the same statements about OS4/OS5 compatibility, yet there were a lot of apps that had to be redone.
So, will you have phones that are not using touchscreens? Can you explain how an app like Agendus will work sans stylus?

This isn't a matter of splitting the Palm OS into phone and PDA versions like Microsoft did. This is a matter of offering our licensees even more flexibility and ability to differentiate by allowing the creation of both inexpensive lower-end devices, and richer high-end devices.

"This is a matter of offering our licensees even more flexibility and ability to differentiate..." Isn't that what David Nagel called "
slightly chaotic?"

Uhm... and here I thought I was congratulating PalmSource. Don't recall seeing anything in there about Palm/PalmSources continual declining marketshare since 2000, cash drain of $1B between Palm/PalmSource/Handspring over that time period or anything else. Just a kudos on their strategy moving forward.
