Linux on the way?

PalmSource did not immediately comment on plans to offer a Linux-based OS for the LifeDrive. However, it seems likely that a Linux upgrade option is in the works.

PalmSource announced in December that it would migrate to Linux as a way of escaping the "Palm-compatible" hardware niche -- a niche that it now appears hardware partner PalmOne is also working to escape. PalmSource then announced a Linux-based software stack for smartphones, before joining the Consumer Electronics Linux Foundation.

PalmSource says new Palm applications written with the Cobalt API can be rejiggered to run on Linux with little more than a re-compile. The company is currently developing a library translation layer to enable older Palm apps based on the Garnet API to run on Linux as well. Once PalmSource has a Linux OS capable of supporting the huge variety of legacy Palm apps, look for a Linux OS upgrade to the LifeDrive.
