Sounds good. Anywhere on the net we can read the specifics of the filing with the SEC?

Where's the beef!

It's the eve of one of the most anticipated palm os devices ever created, yet one would never know looking at the front page of palm infocenter. All around the internet are comments, discussions, and pictures of the palmone T3, but there is nothing here.

Palm infocenter used to be my 1 and only source for palm news. Now I have to go to 4 other sites just to make sure I'm not missing anything. I'd prefer staying with only 1 source, but for the past 6 months palm infocenter has dropped the ball.

Give me the info I crave!

PalmSource Resources

PalmSource has been reported recently as working on a Palm OS Smartphone edition. Someone asked a good question if the "one-handed" functionality of the Treo 600 would become posession & foundation of PalmSource phone edition? From reviews the Treo 600 sounds very intuitive in it's enhancements.

According to this report PalmOne & PalmSource will be split before Handspring is acquired. If this sequence is correct, then PalmSource would have to "negotiate $" for these APIs. Is this correct? Is the trade already made or will PalmSource re-invent the wheel?

I'm not 100% positive but I remember reading somewhere that someone at PalmSource already stated they would incorporate Handsprings "one-handed" API into the Palm OS.
