Palm to unveil OS 5 with multitasking, multithreading capabilities [in IDG InfoWorld]
The good: multitasking, multithreading, and improved performance, all of which bode well for extending the use of Palms in libraries, especially as they interact with the online catalog. Also, more development for wireless connections.
The bad: "We were told that every single Hack will not work in the future," said a developer." Still no MP3 support in Palm-manufactured devices.
MP3 doesn't matter to me anymore because I have a Sony Clie, but I'm not even on OS 4, so upgrading to 5 could be a problem. I love Sony, but the only way I can upgrade my 710c to OS 4 is to SEND THEM MY CLIE FOR A WEEK. And I have to pay them for the privilege of not having my brain's memory stick for a whole week or longer. Unfortunately, I don't think these moves will keep Palm's market share.
