Palm Speeds Up Release
Palm, responding to criticism over a lack of innovation, has decided to
move ahead of schedule with a significant upgrade of its operating system.
Palm OS 5, which will be previewed at the kickoff of Palm's annual
developer conference in San Jose next week, will be commercially available
by mid-year. The new software release marks the formal debut of PalmSource,
Palm's software subsidiary. Palm OS 5 is geared toward the faster ARM
microprocessor line and features expanded encryption capability for
enhanced security. It also incorporates support for Wi-Fi networking and
for playing and recording audio. ref:http://online.wsj.com/article/0,,SB1012860973664786400.djm,00.html
