ALP success = Ease of development
A big factor in ALP success is going to be how easy it is for amateur and hobbyist programmers. Symbian is an awesome platform with incredible potential but it is a PITA for Joe Average to develop simple programs.
Palm succeeded in small part because anybody could develop simple applications with much learning curve. WM is succeeding by leveraging its desktops tools and market dominance to make WM fairly easy to develop for (if not cheap).
So please access, keep the learning curve relatively shallow. Easy to develop encourages innovation.

Vote for John Kerry... best man for the job.
Palm is dead, long live Access.
I think any of us could have seen the writing on the wall a few years back. I'm just not sure we could have expected things to be this, well, pathetic. Perhaps Palm should have surrendered when Microsoft fired that proverbial warning shot across its bow. Instead they've abandoned their ship and have been floating around the open seas on a life raft reminding the world that they still exist. It's almost embarrassing really.
Nevertheless I wish Access all the best. After a decade with Palm, I've since moved to the Windows platform so I won't be using their products, but a part of me will always have a soft-spot for the remnants of the Palm OS.

Access Co, the 2006 version of Palm Inc of 1992.
Their new ALP based on Linux will leverage the Linux community of developers and supporters of both commercial and open source communities.
With Palm Inc's increasing focus on WM and Treo phones, I would welcome new ALP licensees to restore a healthy competition that would drive innovation in both the OS and hardware industry.
From Access: "...our company values of total customer satisfaction, integrity, innovation, excellence and openness,” Arakawa added.
God bless the Japanese, the new Americans.
