Guess I'll wait to get a new PDA then.
Yeah, I was just thinking good thing I realized I was short of cash before jumping on the TX.
I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Our wings are not tired
There are a few Linux ones out there, but they aren't doing well. Palm really was the only other big player. There's even rumors that the Sidekick is going to roll over to Windows Mobile. Sharp was one of the big ones pushing Linux and from what I understand even they have given that up and are now on a Windows heading.
There's the Symbian OS, but I've never found it very usable. I'll be looking as well and hope to find an alternative.

According to Comment #19 on the Engadget story:
I've spoken with PalmSource and the CBR article is completely incorrect.
As Shawn and Craig pointed out, the next version of the Palm OS will be based on Linux. But it will still run Palm OS applications and have the Palm OS look and feel.
PalmSource is working to get CBR to retract the article.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
