"Dudes, we were skeptical, but now we’re convinced: roc a fella himself just emailed us a video of a Treo 670 running on Windows Mobile. Yeah, it’s a little blurry, but there’s no mistaking that this the real deal. Everything just got very interesting."
There is a video at the site that requires Quicktime. Very cool. 8) If this is a mockup or trickery of some sort, it is very well done. I think that this is more likely real though. No one wants PalmOS6, aka Cobalt and PalmOS5, aka Garnet, has been hacked up over the years to accomplish things it wasn't meant to do. Remember, OS5 was supposed to be an intermediate stepping stone from the old OS4 kernel to the new full 32bit ARM kernel. It is getting long in the tooth.
Palm, Inc. is doing the right thing - rather than be religious about the operating system they are going platform agnostic and trying to deliver the best device to the user.
