Linux Based Treos from Palm Soon
Techtree News Staff Email Print
Apr 12, 2007
According to reports, Palm is all set to come out with Treo smart phones with Linux operating system (OS) later this year.

The announcement was made by Palm officials during a meeting with analysts in New York.

During the meeting, Ed Colligan, CEO of Palm, confirmed that the Linux platform has been under development for a number of years. The system software will be rolled out before the end of the year, which the company believes will lead to advanced and modernized Palm operating systems.

The company has not yet given any name to the software but refers to it as "Palm Operating System on a Linux core," which will replace the current Palm OS 5 known as "Garnet".

Reportedly, the Linux-based OS will support existing Palm OS applications. It will allow for simultaneous voice and data traffic, and support faster application switching as well as online applications.

Though Colligan did not give out any specific details on the Linux-based product, he said that the Linux platform will give them control again over their own operating system, and will also help the company to lower costs and bring products to market in lesser time.

Until a year back, Palm was using its own OS for smart phones. Then last year, the company broadened its customer base by debuting Treo smart phones with Windows Mobile system. And now, Linux-based smart phones will also join the product mix.

However, Palm maintains that it will continue to develop its Windows-based smart phones for the enterprise market. Also, it has no plans of licensing the new platform.
