Japanese company Access, which distributes the existing Palm OS, known as "Garnet," is itself developing a Linux-based platform, although that platform will be licensed to other companies.
.Palm Treo and Linux(es) Well, I've been having fun over the past few days (or is it weeks) with this. MD of company buys new Treo, and hooks it up to sync to his RedHat 9 box running KDE but it doesn't work. I take said Treo, and hook it up to my SuSE 10 box, and works no problem. After a bit of discussion it isTreos through the 680 series used Palm OS. Beginning with the 700 series, Treos ran both Palm OS and Windows Mobile. The Treo 700w was the first of the 700 line, and the first Treo to use Windows Mobile. On August 19, 2008, Palm released the last Treo device, the Treo Pro on GSM.

It supports the GPE and OPIE interfaces on most devices. This is NOT a ROM replacement, and installation will only persist until the Palm device is reset (changes to Linux will be saved).Holding out for a Palm OS 6/Linux Treo. Discussion in 'Treo 700w and 700wx' started by gjlowe, Sep 26, 2005. gjlowe New Member. I am holding out hope that a new Treo running either Palm OS 6 Cobalt or Palm OS for Linux will emerge soon.
