Palm is doing all they can to put the totality of their resources into developing next generation phones. From people I know in Palm, the previous layoffs and the store closings were done in order to clean house of people who were not relevant to developing their new products. With the money available to them from these cuts they are now free to try and get more developers to work on their new products.
The new OS is extremely simple to develop for but at this point it sounds as if all Palm legacy apps will not work. I expect it to feature heavy use of Wi-fi and internet connectivity including VoIP and possibly mobile media access.
