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.

oh yes! why of course I remember George Hoffman and Dianne Hackborn from be! oh my I have waited for some kind of reincarnation of the spirit of beOS for some time (openBeoS...even beIA would be OK if it was successful). But now we see the same spirit-just in a very small package. And this time nobody has to worry about "dual-booting with Windows" or lack of hardware/software support. OK so it doesn't have yellow tabs, a shell, workspaces and it won't run Gobe productive...but it now has the same principles that drew people to beOS in the first place. And you can take it anywhere you go.
