Palm's planned Linux-based Palm OS, called "Palm OS II," is "on track" to be ready by the end of the year, with a target of early 2009 for devices running the new OS to be on sale. The new Palm OS is being developed independent of Access, the company that owns the current (old) Palm OS, which is acquired with PalmSource in 2005.

Actually, I'd put money on it that there will be devices shipping with the new Palm OS next year. Unlike the situation Palm had when they released Palm OS 6 (aka Cobalt), Palm are not worrying about getting other device manufacturers to license the product. This OS has been built by Palm, for Palm, as their last chance at differentiating themselves and having a truly compelling platform.
There is simply too much at stake, and Palm cannot afford to not release Nova. Whether or not it provides a good alternative to the iPhone and Android remains to be seen. I hope it does well.
