Next month, Palm will be exhibiting at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Tech journalists are speculating that the company will be unveiling its new Linux-based operating system alongside a line of new devices. Palm has been recruiting former Apple executives over the last 18 months.
With big players recently joining Google’s Open Handset Alliance, I don’t know what are the prospects of yet another Linux smarphone platform, considering that only Palm will be using their version. Still, if their ALP can run GTK+ native Linux applications as promised, it should allow to singlehandedly install existing Gnome application without much porting work.
