I do think Palm is looking hard for an alternative to PalmOS as it's a bit risky now to be completely dependent on PalmSource and PalmOS for Linux. (But I still am hoping that will be a big success.)
But I just don't see them using Windows Mobile except as a last ditch desperation choice because of no other options. Or because MS gives them gigantic incentives to go with Windows Mobile.
More likely in my opinion is for them to just do Linux themselves. Everyone seems to be able to do it.... hobbyists, Nokia, Sharp, etc. Why not Palm?
One thing is for sure. We will certainly see a few surprises and changes in the next few years!
