This was inevitable. What is PalmSource's strategy? How do they intend to survive? What are they doing about thier lack of licensee's and declining market share? These are all things the CEO should have been doing and addressing. Instead they keep changing to the coolest flavor of the week. From BeOS to Cobalt to Linux, they can't seem to figure out what to do next, all along clinging to a 10 year old OS that has been completely mangled so it's original strengths - ease of use, stability and speed no longer exist.

While we are at it, POS board of directors should also be looking for the nearest exit. They have overseen the complete incompetence shown by POS management for several years without batting an eye. :roll:

It's funny how owner's of iPods and PSP devices are trying to figure out how to add PIM functionality - but for years PALM kept telling all their users they didn't need multi-media functions. They blew a huge opportunity by not jumping on the multimedia bandwagon with a killer "zen-like" product while they still had a huge loyal base of users.

Let's hope this is a wake up call and POS finally gets it's stuff together to provide true competition in the PDA market.
