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.

I read elsewhere that the UI was not going to change until version 2. The current screenshots show some change, but I'm still not sold on OS 6. It looks to be more of the same but with an upgrade to hardware specs and a new OS with future capabilities.
It's a good start for Palm but consumers can get more currently from Sony. As we know, Sony has a stake in PalmSource and no wonder the Clie's look so different than other palm os devices. How does this help other manufacturers compete with Sony?
