Palm Analyst Day

This morning Ed Colligan and his senior Palm management team are in New York City talking with analysts and the media about the future growth plans for the company.

There has already been a wealth of good information coming out of this meeting, not the least of which is a public confirmation that Palm has been working on a Linux based Palm OS operating system that will begin appearing on devices later this year. Long time listeners of the 1SRC podcast will recall that a Linux-based operating system (often referred to as "Palm OS II") has been a frequent discussion point on the show.

PalmAddict and TreoCentral will having running coverage of the event. Make sure to listen to this week's 1SRC podcast for additional news and commentary on today's events.

Palm fans should be very excited about today's developments. Today marks the first outwardly visible product deliverables of "Palm, Inc 2.0" and a return of the Palm, Inc that was such an innovator in the mobile computing market prior to the spin off of the PalmSource business back in 2003. I am really excited about the prospects for Palm's new products.
