Hmmmm...

Let's see...

Site's called PocketPC Thoughts...

People poke fun at the inane competition...

That's bias?

Okay. Fine. We're biased toward Windows Mobile. Considering this is a Windows Mobile community, I'd say that's an expected angle, huh?

[Gerard]

And it's not like Palmies have ever shown bias, right? (See Pogue's past writings for some fine examples of open-mindedness, or perhaps Kirvin's.)

[Jon Westfall]

Hey, we're not at all biased - we even have a forum here for a Palm product now, and I'm sure we'll be open to any Palm device to be released*

But seriously, the person at CES's Palm booth said that cobalt WILL come out eventually.

It's not a dead horse... I'd say its a horse in a coma.

Not likely. Whom was it that told you this? Unless those words came from the lips of Ken Wirt or Ed Colligan, I don't buy it at all. It makes no strategic or cost sense whatsoever. Basically Palm would be adopting an OS that is already slated for obsolescence, with a shelf-life of just a few more months in the PalmOS timeline. PalmLinux (or whatever it is destined to be called) will arrive sometime this year (internally) and will ship on devices next year. That being the case, why would Palm incur the development and support costs from adopting an OS that isn't going to be viable for much longer? It would make more sense, from a fiscal standpoint to continue with the Garnet until PalmLinux arrives.

Only Cobalt's APIs will survive. The OS itself is dead.
