Hell ya! PalmOS rules & now that HP owns it expect a new HP smartphone powered by PalmOS soon :-)
PalmOS is dead. We might see a new WebOS phone or two.
I went from a Palm III, which was great, to a Palm T|X, which was pretty neat, to a LifeDrive, which I got completely fecked over, IMNSHO.
The LifeDrive is great in terms of hardware spec, but Garnet is unstable, at best, and bug-ridden. Not to mention support was dropped not six months after I bought mine, leaving me with a $500 paper weight. I have never been able to rely on this device when I needed it most. I would not keep it if not for two programs I use fairly regularly, though that is a moot point since it will not boot because of the battery (which I have replaced, but there is some other problem): a star chart and a mileage tracker. Oh, and I do have a nice-looking PalmOS resistor calculator, and Frodo to play "Trolls and Tribulations."
I used to love my Palm. I am surprised there are no hacking resources for the LifeDrive considering the hardware: 400MHz XScale, Bluetooth 2.0, WPA WiFi, 4GB hard drive, nice screen, etc.
