PalmThis letter to the Linux community from the vice-president of engineering for Palmsource took me entirely by surprise.

I can read the tealeaves here and imagine countless innovating ways that Linux developers could put the best of Linux and the best of the Palm OS together which would lead to extremely stable and endlessly variable intellegent devices.

Translated: This could mean my Palm applications could run on almost any computer; desktop, laptop, cell-phone, watch (who needs one when the cell has the atomic-syncronized time?), television (don’t laugh - there’s a might big movement to converge PC and TV already happening), ad infinitum.

I love my Palm. I read all my books on it. It’s my preferred method of reading books. I syncronize my calendar, to-dos and contact list with my business computer. Lot’s of other uses.

The Treo 650Treo 650 is my next Palm device. One device for Cell, organizer and for the most of my needs, a laptop replacement. See this article for a short list of the wonders one can do with a Treo device.

What’s not to like except the price ($600 without cell company subsidies)?
