Just my 2 cents...
The problem is I personally doubt that they have time to build a new OS from scratch. I mean if you REALLY started something from scratch? Minimum a year I bet. Why do I get this image of Apple's transition from OS 9 to 10 here? How many times did they start and stop that project before Jobs came back?
They could always license the win ce kernel and run styletap on top of that. Problem solved in one day! OK, to get conduits and wireless to work will take a few more weeks, but afterward any new apps they write will be automatically multi-tasking. They would have access to all the hardware and drivers already available for win ce also.
