My prediction is that Palm will stick to OS5 and continue to customize it for their needs. The most significant new features added over the last two years (NVFS, harddrive, one-handed navigation) have originated from them (and not PalmSource) anyway. Effectively, Palm Inc. has taken over maintenance of OS5. As long as they're doing well financially - which they are - they will continue their incremental upgrade cycle and not make any radical changes.
