I'm just speculating, but I wonder if that is one of the reasons Cobalt OS has not been adopted quicker. Not that there's a particular problem with Cobalt, but that PalmOne has a large investment in the tweaks and enhancements to Garnet specific to their devices, and so they may have been reluctant to abandon that investment to move forward to Cobalt right away when Garnet works just fine. PalmOne wisely wants to make the most of what they've done, both with regard to code and with regard to device form factors that work well.

This is teh reason that palmOne gave and pretty much fits with what we have seen from the thus far.

One piece of supporting circumstantial evidence for that theory is that I talked to one group working on a Cobalt smartphone. They surprised me by telling me that Cobalt was actually easier for them to build a smartphone on than Garnet because it already did a lot of the work for them that they would have had to add to Garnet!

Not surprised there either. PS pulled a lot on what hadnt been done in Garnet to make things happen. Still would be nice to be using Cobalt on my T5 now though.
