RE: Screenshots
Hahaha... that's hilarious :)
I don't think PalmSource are quite that desperate yet!
For anyone who doesn't get the joke, that screenshot is of Windows Mobile.
RE: Screenshots
I really wish a Today screen, becouse every PDA should have that feature.! And I want it from Palm!

Tick tock tick
a) Palm OS's Revitalization
or
b) Palm OS's Doom
Rust doesn't sleep. Neither does Microsoft. (And I hear Symbian has started stocking up on NoDoz too!)

When in the hell are you going to learn to ****?? PalmSource has proved a competent enough corporation to release a major product on a time they specified. This is absolutely fantastic news for Palm. Hopefully it offers everything as promised including that efficient multitasking system.
This isn't the time or place for you to rant as always about the doom and gloom. You're that kind of schmuck that goes into a perfect dining room and criticizes the folded corner on a napkin.

RE: Tick tock tick
multi-tasking?
so my real question is: what new can be expected from 6.0?
RE: Tick tock tick
PalmOS 6.0 - December, 2003 (after two years of development). No shipping devices. Now PalmSource admits this was just a "proof of concept", not meant to be for real shipping devices.
PalmOS 6.1 - September, 2004. No shipping devices.
PalmLinux - As of December, 2004, no date yet announced for this to even start development, much less be ready for prime time. Don't realistically expect betas until well into 2006.
Remember the lessons of the many Apple OSes that were DOA prior to OSX? Looks like PalmSource's Apple-derived execs are doomed to repeat history.

Well, crap.
I'm still exciting, but I'm suffering from lack of info and eye-candy. Yeah yeah I'm lame, but I do care since I'm buying a T3 soon.
RE: PalmSource link down
Isn't technology wonderful? (I had the same thing happen to me with amazon last night!)
RE: PalmSource link down
Now where is all the eye-candy? :)

RE: Webcast time
I thought the webcast would help to clear out the confusion! Now the webcast has become a joke itself!
why is this happening?
RE: bfs
This reminds me of some early 80s managers complaining about PCs not being able to read paper tape or punchcards.
RE: bfs
I hope PalmSource did put bfs into OS 6, since that was one of the strong points of BeOS, and one of the things which made it so fast.
Bfs treats the harddrive kinda like a database, and one of the cool things is that you can assign meta data to files, via attributes. These can then be used for indexing and searches, which give results at near constant time.
For example, each e-mail on BeOS is in a separate file, with attributes corresponding to who it was from, and perhaps importance or category. So, regardless of where you put the e-mail on your harddrive, you can always find it by bringing up a list of, say the category attribute.
On OS 6, you could move ID3 tags of music files into attributes, and then enter a value and have all the matching songs added to the playlist without delay.
In other words, bfs provides a system wide unified way of accessing data, via an incredibly fast database-like system.
Also, another reason for having any sort of file system, is that you'd be able to move any file to and from the device, from, for example, SD cards.
RE: bfs
This seems to be the optimal solution to file system on a PDA. Originally there were 2 camps- 1 that said "file system on PDA is too complicated, database is better", and another that wanted a proper filesystem they could manipulate. Well, this would give them the best of both worlds.
