The two groups, however, came up with their solutions independently.

In an intriguing article published by the UK’s Guardian newspaper, Palm’s CEO, Ed Colligan, admits in an interview that “it will be 12 to 18 months” before a Palm smartphone running a Linux-based OS appears.

The Guardian article, while offering little in the way of new information, does a solid job of providing a nutshell summary of the myriad of reasons leading to Palm’s current doldrums, such as the aging Garnet OS architecture, reduced revenue and consolidation in the PDA market, and the lack of differentiation amongst the Treo line in the face of increasingly fierce competition.
