Well, PalmSource never comments on its licensees' release plans. (If I were a licensee, I wouldn't be happy if they did.) The only tangible bit of info that has come out recently is that Samsung is developing a series of SmartPhones that use a mixture of OS5 and OS6. No word on what the projected release date is, though, but I wouldn't hold your breath for an OS6 SmartPhone:

It is not known at this time when the first handhelds running Palm OS Cobalt 6.1 will debut. PalmSource says the first smartphones with this operating system aren't likely to debut for another year.

As an aside: considering that the Treo 650 has not been rolled out yet, I wouldn't expect an OS6 SmartPhone from PalmOne any time soon either - at least not for the next half year. If there's going to be an OS6 device in the spring, it has to be a PDA from PalmOne. Seeing that PalmOne is shifting its focus to SmartPhones, I wouldn't count on that happening, though. Who knows? Maybe the T5 is just a stopgap product and PalmOne is, indeed, pouring its effort into a range of OS6 PDA's.
