The voice, the man, the... machine. That's George Hoffman for you. According to people who have worked with him (including my husband) he is one of the brightest Be, Inc. engineers ever. These days, George works at PalmSource, Inc. as the Director of Applications and Services. In his free time he sings with an (a cappella) vocal band of 4, Hookslide (check out their .wmv promo video clip)! In this interview we talk about PalmOS 6, aka Cobalt. We discuss the architecture of the OS, its capabilities, its market targets and more. Screenshots of Cobalt are included.

Yes, Palm OS 5.x used PACE (Palm Application Compatibility Environment, iirc) to emulate the 68k cpu. It does support "armlets", or small bits of ARM code, but it's not a native environment for the apps. OS6 is much better in this regard.
