The company has pushed back the release to sometime in the first half of 2007, when it will reveal the full capabilities of the OS, as well as its official name. By pushing back the OS release to developers, ACCESS has also pushed back the release date of any devices running the new platform. It is unclear that any phones running ALP will be launched next year."This probably further justifies Palm, Inc. extending its PalmOS 5 license indefinitely. I am wondering if ALP will ever be available to consumers. If not, it wouldn't be the first all new release of a PalmOS to never sell a single device. If it does ship, I think it would be mid-late 2008 before any devices were available from carriers. I seriously doubt anyone will make an ALP powered device that is just a standalone PDA.
