PalmOS 5.0 milestone more of a molehill
Although Palm's software chief David Nagel hit the right, very cautious note in interviews yesterday - as the company finally released final code for PalmOS 5.0 - the company still can't resist its bad habit of overselling itself. PalmOS 5.0 is a port of the current OS onto ARM: it isn't a new OS in any meaningful sense, and already has more than a whiff of obsolesence about it. It's a placeholder release, and the really big bang won't happen until next year.
