Thanks to Laurens for bringing some light into the confusion whether or not PalmSource plans to port PalmOS to PocketPC. C|Net reports:

PalmOne [PalmSource's biggest customer] representatives disputed the contents of the research note, from Needham & Co. The note said that PalmOne "tacitly admitted" it was working to make Microsoft's operating system available on the popular Treo line of phones...PalmOne representatives said the report was based on a misunderstanding, adding that the company is platform-agnostic. The representatives also said the company as a policy does not comment on products that may or may not be under development.

How interesting that PalmSource declines to commend on the report, and that palmOne is the one who tries to clean up the mess.
