There, David, I fixed it for you. One, there is no evidence that Palm has any focus on Java. They dont even ship a Java VM on the Treo. Secondarily, some of those Linux adverts specifically talk about rewriting the PIM's in Linux, so we have to assume they would be native too. Thirdly, the role of Palm 68k apps are under-emphasized in your diagram. Remember, for Palm, this will be all about continuity. Palm-Linux will look very much the same as POS Garnet. Lastly, Lowrider will be PalmOS and Hollywood WM. If these devices will ship in the next 6 months (which is generally assumed) Palm cant still be developing the OS now (which they obviously are, as they are hiring pretty low level developers)

Just a question, who's browser do you think they'll use? Will the license Access Netfront for Linux?
