Palm's planned Linux-based Palm OS, called "Palm OS II," is "on track" to be ready by the end of the year, with a target of early 2009 for devices running the new OS to be on sale. The new Palm OS is being developed independent of Access, the company that owns the current (old) Palm OS, which is acquired with PalmSource in 2005.

I already updated my Palm.. wait.. no.. that's an n810 running Linux.. sorry, never mind..
seriously though, I've been waiting since the T5 was brand new.. watched Palm make one bad decision after another.. split the company.. regroup the company.. sell the software off to Access.. and on.. and on.. Eventually it came down to the consumer device that could be considered a true upgrade from the T5 but Palm didn't provide that device before the competition did.
I do have to give credit to Access though. The PalmOS emulator is a staple of my Maemo installs. If the new OS is coming out of there developers, it could be what the remaining Palm faithful deserve.
