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.

What I (as a developer) don't like about having both VFS and an internal database representation, is that the internal databases can not be referenced via the VFS calls.
I'd love for there to be specially understood place holders like /dev/ram/ or /dev/MyID/databasename.pdb mapping to internal databases, then I could just use a single API calls for finding, creating, opening, reading, writing, closing, databases that could be located either in ram, or on a card.
