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.

Based on an earlier article, I understand this OS is not going to replace OS5, but become the high-end os. Naturally, I wouldnt expect to see upgrades for the zire21 for example.
But what about the current "high end" palms, like the T3. Are there any plans to have an upgrade option for this device? It already has the dynamic input area, as well as using a 400MHz XScale processor. Is there anything that would technically prevent this?
I also realize any answers would be speculative, expecially since OS6 is likely too far from release, but I figured it would be an interesting discussion.
