Palm hitches a ride on Linux

Just when we'd decided to make the switch from the Palm Treo to a Windows Mobile smartphone - probably the Dopod 810 - CEO Ed Colligan announces a new range of Palm Treos will be introduced by the end of the year, with the Palm OS piggy-backing on Linux.

The switch - rumoured way back in 2005, and heralded by unofficial Palm/Linux marriages - will allow the Palm/PDA to handle voice and data simultaneously, overcoming the deficiencies that seemed to have forced it to embrace the Windows Mobile OS for its most recent Treos, including the 750 which has just been released for Telstra's Next G network, and shortly on the 3 network.

Is it too late? Or can Palm lovers wait?
