The two situations are not the same. Cobalt wasn't created by Palm. It was developed by a separate company called PalmSource, which is now a part of Access. Palm's major involvement in Cobalt was to reject it. |
At the time, PalmSource wasn't a separate company, it was part of Palm.

All this means that Palm isn't taking my suggestion to give up on developing its own operating system. Instead, I think that it should create a "Palm OS" shell for Windows Mobile. Of course, I didn't really expect it to. Still, if you're interested, you can read the details here:

That would just create even more confusion in the third party software/hardware area. "Oh, you have Windows Mobile 7? Is that Windows Mobile 7 Standard, Professional, or Windows Mobile 7 Palm?"
