PalmSource Introduces Palm OS Cobalt and Garnet
I had heard during the Mission Possible Treo 600 release party that the plan would be to use an enhanced version of OS 5 (Garnet) for the development of the smartphone product line, at least as far as the Treo is concerned. It seems OS 6 (Cobalt) is slated to support the creation of new categories of devices for the communications, enterprise, education and entertainment markets, according to this post by Palm Infocenter.
There has been talk about a new product, much from the Treo, from the Jeff Hawkins design team. I would guess that it would be something like the SONY PEG UX50, going back to palmtop, mini-PC concept supporting multiple wireless modes. I can envision this as being a perfect platform for the capabilities provided by Cobalt.
You can view some screenshots of Garnet and Cobalt.
