Even more mobile device OS diversity

Palm is expected to take the wraps off their new OS, codenamed Nova, at the CES show this week. Its not news of course that Palm is building a new OS. What IS news is that details are going to be presented so soon. As mentioned, mobile operating systems continue to diversify at a dizzying rate.

We’ve said in the past that we have no plans to support Palm or LiMo operating systems with Rhodes. We didn’t mean anything new that Palm would do. We’ll take a close look at Nova as details become available, and support it if it makes sense to do so. My guess is that it will.
