It'd be interesting to note how they allow different hardware licensees to customize the ir particular hardware. Does that topic enter the discussion at any point in this series, or would PalmSource be willing to answer at some later date?

I have a Tapwave Zodiac2 and it was confusing going "backwards" from the Palm Tungsten T|3's Palm OS 5.4 (or whatever) to the Tapwave Zodiac OS 5.2.7. It doesn't seem like there might be that big a difference between the OS's, but there is (not counting on how I had to rely on MarkSpace's Missing Sync (with it's extra $40) all of a sudden to get the Zodiac to sync with my Mac.)

Does PalmSource provide a basic OS to it's licensees that they can modify and tweak to taste, or are they actively customizing the OS per licensee? It seems the first is true because otherwise it might be easier to upgrade my Zodiac's OS to the most current and powerful.
