See Palm prepping its own Linux-based OS

Could be good for Palm OS users who want something a little more up to date.

Honestly, as negative as that article read, its got me really excited. I've been waiting for this! Palm is NOT dead!

It confirms what we've all suspected but it's nice to have it from the horses mouth so to speak

From what I've seen of ALP, which admitedly isn't that much, it hasn't really impressed me, hopefully Palm's home grown solution will do

Thanks for the link, I did a bit of research after my post and found that

All the above sound good apart from Opera, tried that on my T650 a while back and didn't like it

I would have preferred the Picsel Browser

Maybe the Palm over Linux version of Opera will be tweaked more to your liking . . . . . .

Or Minimo from Mozilla
