Not much info out there. Really, the best indication comes from his comments in a July 2005 San Jose Business Journal interview, where he says

There is a third business that I've been working on but I'm not going to tell you what it is. It's in mobile computing. It's something different and it's in its early stage. We have three businesses at PalmOne. One you don't even know about, which is just a child. Another is the teenager and the other one is the mature 45-year-old.

One would assume that he is talking about PDAs, Smart Phones and the 3rd line of business.
It could be that LifeDrive was a first preparatory stab at this third line, or it could be that Linux development going on at Palm is about this third line or it might even be that it's based on his artificial intelligence work. We really don't know yet.
I agree... I hope it's not just a cool gee-whiz thing, but something useful and exciting. Palm's future might just depend on it.
