Palm recently announced over $500 million in losses, but then we all knew Palm wasn't too hot on the market these days despite their efforts to sell Windows Mobile devices. Palm is hoping to make a comeback, however, with new smartphones sporting Nova in 2009.

I hear that. The way I see it, Palm OS itself wasn't fundamentally flawed. If they:
* Integrated support for a good 3D graphics chipset from Nvidia or similar.
* Reskinned the UI completely with support for shadows and tranparency etc to bring it up to spec with todays expectations.
* Added support for 3G radios and beyond.
* Retained the speed and zen of Palm OS.
Then they would have had a winner.
Seriously, with a 10 - 15 mill budget you could hire a team of 40 good coders for 2-3 years... surely enough to achieve those goals.
