The Psion Series 3 had a fully multitasking OS running on an 8MHz x86 in 128Kb of RAM - in 1991.

If Psion could do it then, PalmOS was a step backwards in my book! :-)

So, PalmOS has been licensed to Qualcomm. Wow.

It really dismays me sometimes how Slashdot has almost completely ignored Symbian's EPOC operating system, developed by Psion and now also part owned by the "big three" - Motorola, Nokia and Ericsson. With these behind it, do you think that CE, or even PalmOS for that matter is going to suceed in the mobile information device arena?

Take a look at Ericsson's R380 to see what a real smartphone should look like! :-)
