Access shows off Access Linux Platform 3.0
The simple, user-friendly Palm OS (Garnet) hasn’t aged gracefully enough to compete with other intuitive mobile platforms with more kick and eye-appeal. To that end, Palm promised to deliver their next-generation Palm OS, codenamed “Nova,” to market in 2009. The Linux-based Nova mobile OS was promised to bring the Palm brand back to its former industry-pioneering glory. And so, we’re glad to see that the wait for the “new” Palm OS platform is almost over!
Access, the people behind the Palm mobile OS, has revealed their new successor to the aging Palm OS platform. Access Linux Platform 3.0 (ALP 3.0), as it’s called, has been unveiled to the world, complete with screenshots. ALP 3.0 will be compatible with Palm Garnet OS applications as well as Java applications to help make the transition to ALP 3.0 as seamless as possible. And, with LiMo Foundation compliance, ALP 3.0 is on board with mobile Linux specs.
ALP 3.0 screenshots show what looks like an intuitive UI with a design aesthetic that reflects its Palm OS-roots. Palm OS fans will probably find that ALP 3.0 isn’t that far a cry from their beloved mobile platform, but with added functionality and that sought-after eye-appeal, ALP 3.0 is a definite improvement.
The release date for ALP 3.0 isn’t yet known, but previous speculation puts the next-generation Palm OS on schedule for an early 2009 delivery. ALP Mini, on the other hand, is available to bring a pared-down ALP platform to feature phones immediately.
