PalmSource Inc., the company responsible for the Palm operating system, is to undergo the much talked about "one-step separation" from its parent, Palm Inc. (Nasdaq: PALM - message board), before the end of the first quarter of 2003, according to Albert Chu, PalmSource's VP of business development.
PalmSource's own research (10,000 people surveyed in five countries) suggests that while the majority of the 18 million or so handheld/smart devices sold in 2002 are unconnected standalone products, by 2006 the total sales will top 60 million, and the majority will incorporate wireless connectivity functions.
Although I think it's positive that PalmSource is being decoupled, I am not so sure I am optimistic about the future of the OS with regards to the demands from the market for a rich operating system and thick clients.
