As reported on Brighthand PalmSource promisses to finish up work on Palm OS 6 on 29th December.

It will come with an API to allow both portrait and landscape modes (Windows Mobile needs this!)

Developers will be able to create ARM-native applications

At last support for threading and background processes, which will allow multiple apps to run at the same time

Includes a protected memory system, so each application has its own dynamic heap for stability

End of some limitations that have irritated users for years, including the 16-category limit and the 4k limit on memos

Use of pluggable I/O interfaces

Use multimedia and graphics frameworks from BeOS

For better mobility support for Web services and accessing Microsoft Exchange and Lotus email servers
