I am glad to see that ACCESS has finally found the operating system they have been looking for. It is an excellent business move to develop ALP, now it is time to see where the mobile software developers take this by inspiration stirred from portable device makers. I see the upside in this simply because it is Linux and isn't so proprietary with Palm hardware. Now this offers true interoperability which is the companion of interconnecting not only devices but also services (only I could explain the future of interconnecting services, but I will hint VoIP for this mobile conversation).
This is also great because not only are there over 420,000 Palm developers awaiting the platform to support ALP but we also have the inevitable open-source community which has innovation written all over it. Coming from an open-source background myself, we are now going to see common applications and service enablers, which work is intended to be applicable across both fixed and mobile phones. Now the open-source community application developers should then, in theory, be capable of creating differentiated applications around the common foundations to support ALP similar to what Palm’s structure was before being purchased by ACCESS.
This is just my opinion that hopefully opens up your vision of how this will play a huge part in mobile devices to come and truly support past hardware as well. Note not to forget that open-source sparks the most innovation that a lot of commercial companies derive features which concurs revenue. This is a portal to a lot of open-source developers to show their innovation and finally receive compensation from notability for their work…Oh and the nice paycheck to go with it.
“The Pixi -- a sleek, tiny device -- seems clearly aimed at the only market Palm has recently enjoyed unfettered success with: the Centro demographic.”
