Palm to announce new OS at CES

Rumor morphing into headline, Palm continue to claw their way into the spotlight. The build-up to CES (January 8 - 11, 2009) is well under way, as Business Week looks quite in-depth at troubled but keen to bounce back Palm. They are obviously about to debut their new OS, code-named Nova, as well as maybe some of the first devices to run on it.

The current portfolio of PDA and smartphone makers Palm ranges over two operating systems - Palm and WinMo. Their latest Palm Treo Pro is powered by Windows Mobile Professional, while the most prominent Palm OS device is Centro. The Nova operating system, elsewhere referred to as Palm OS II, is said to be Palm's take at getting the best of two worlds - of business-minded communicators and multimedia gadgets. They hope the new OS will help them exploit a shortage users are still experiencing, as no single product can satisfy all contemporary mobile needs.

With Palm's Nova set to debut in less than a month, we guess we'll just sit back and wait with two A's in mind. Apple and Android.
