Unfortunately it's just not there.  I doubt PalmOS is going to get out of 
their tailspin.  They've screwed themselves to please the cell carriers, and 
Windows Mobile Edition is getting more and more difficult to resist.

As a long and loyal Palm user (my first Palm was the Palm Pro), I am really 
doubting my next PDA will be Palm.  It won't be WME though, as it will 
probably be running Linux.

Somewhere between "Wouldn't it be nice if" and the release date of Duke Nukum 
Forever.

http://www.hackndev.com/ and http://www.shadowmite.com.  A lot of unofficial 
work, and good progress all around.
