We talk about the PalmSource announcement this morning, that they'd release a PalmOS based on Linux and that they'd be bringing the PalmOS interface and core PIM applications to low-end "dumbphones".

We also discuss why this isn't bad for Cobalt, the similarities between PalmOS on Linux and Mac OS on Unix, how this helps device and platform compatability and other potential form factors for PalmOS for Linux (think $500 laptops for college students).

We also talk about why it's important to put the PalmOS UI, Contacts and Calendar on entry-level phones, the foothold this gives PalmSource into the overall cell phone market and why this vaults them past Windows Mobile and give them ammo to poke Symbian right in the eye.
