I can't wait for Linux/PalmOS

This could be really good, especially if it is easy to develop for and isn't as tied down as current PDA OSes. I want to be able to tweak it like I can a Linux desktop.

I don't think so, because PalmSource was saying that their OS would be linux with a proprietary layer on top of that. Still, maybe the Linux underpinnings will help, like unix helped OSX.
