Well looks like the Microsoft Zune got off on a rough start. I personally was hoping it would be a good alternative for the iPod. Buggy desktop software, crippled buttons, and just doesn't look too great.

Palm's purchase of expanded rights to the Palm OS source code—including to use it "in any product from Palm and together with any other system technologies"—is not so much about getting the right to develop more products on the aging Palm OS Garnet platform. It's more likely about getting the right to add Garnet compatibility to a next-generation Palm OS that Palm themselves will develop. ACCESS didn't gain Palm as a licensee for its ACCESS Linux Platform, but if Palm turns Garnet into an execution environment that runs on two (or more) platforms, this may give new lif
