No surprise here either, I just hope the GiK will finally realize that opening the platform for development (with complete access) isn't something that can conceivably hurt them.
I'm a palm owner myself which i bought as an e-reading device and own 3 consecutive models, if they were still selling pda's or e-readers even without an e-ink screen it would have been a serious dilemma for me.
The reason being that palm-os development is open, even though it isn't open source, user can and have developed freely (even device drivers) for it.
Now I realize I'm exalting another platform but the only reason for it, is that the pocketbook Linux platform can be just a rich.
You just need to give a glimpse to the incredible variety of available software for palm-os, take into account the software available for Linux systems in general and realize the potential lost with every day delay.
