"Obviously no one has told Ms. O'Connell that the Palm UI has the zen thing going on and needs no redesign."
I do not agree with this assesement. PalmOS will see a redesign for its SMARTPHONE version. This version might, or might not have a touchscreen, depending on the phone model used. And if no touchscreen is available, softkeys and soft-menus are required. And this is where this redesign is going to take place. Think of it like Windows Mobile 5 PPC Edition and its addition of softkeys in comparison to WinMob2003SE.
And please remember that when we are talking about the PalmOS-Linux version, it is NOT what PalmOne will use for its Treos. Palm is not interested in the PalmOS-Linux version (that the redesign is taking place for), only their current one PalmOS 5.x.
The phones that will run PalmLinux (if any), won't look like Treos, but more like Nokia's Symbian S60 phones. That's the goal of PalmSource for their new generation phone products. Touchscreens won't be the norm in these new Palmsource products.
