Would a Palm Centro be able to run this?

Please dont call this the next PALM OS because access said that they are not going to put this on their next gen palm devices. This is just for companies like NTT Docomo to use as a proprietary OS for their phones. I don’t expect this to come to the US.

no support for 24-bit color screens? I guess that’s a little better than WinMo’s 16-bit, but still disappointing.

At 1250.00 dollars a share who cares what you think is going on… the price is steady pushing forward while everybody else is in retreat.

JL, you hit the nail on the head! Nokia and Symbian S60 are the global leading smartphone OS because of support for other platforms like Ruby and Qt, just to name a couple. ALP must take advantage of its roots and figure ways to bring Linux apps from other distros to its userbase. Virtual Machines or alternate platform frameworks like Qt will give ALP a major boost.

What would be interesting is if there will be any resources to port/recompile apps for other mobile linux based platforms (Looks down on my desk at my T-Mo G1)

Or maybe a Garnet VM for Android too – these ecosystems could be complimentary much like the varied Linux distros.

@RAS I pulled these screen shots straight from the Access webpage. No reason for them to put up fakes on an OS they’re developing.

I see the same old tired screenshots that could be renders or photoshop jobs, but no real demo video of the OS in action. Until they actually show it, I call bullsh!t. And I stick by my prediction that it will never exist in the wild. It’s all some Matrix/Agent Smith trickster hooey.

Maybe this could mean the first ROM hack for the Treo 650…

It looks great..can’t help but feel like it looks similar to the OMNIA interface though.

Al, I just wondered if a Maemo box could run this. Looks interesting… Of course, Maemo will run Qt apps and then some, but a decent looking alternative. I’ve said for years Symbian should make a lite stripped down non multitasking version instead of S60 instead of S40. This just might have wings, especially if its cheap to free for OEM’s.

Looks like my Nokia Internet Tablet could run it.
