Sad fact:
When Be, Inc. was purchased by Palm in 2001, it seemed like #BeOS technology would live on in #PalmOS, and Palm OS 6 would incorporate portions of BeOS into it. Instead, PalmSource (who was developing Palm OS 6, got acquired by ACCESS Co, a Japanese software house, who proceeded to... simply sit on BeOS and Palm OS.
While we have #Haiku continuing the BeOS spirit, nothing is continuing the Palm OS spirit.
We need that mobile diversity back. A modern Palm OS would rock so hard.
