Original OSNews Interviews 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.

File Systems

One of the Palm OS Cobalt features not mentioned is HotSync Exchange. This lets you sync any file to the device. On the device, it is received through Exchange Manager by the application that uses it, just as if it were beamed to the device. This means apps that handle native types can accept those files without needing a desktop converter.
