Last October (2006), ACCESS announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, PalmSource, Inc., had begun the process of changing its name to ACCESS. As part of that process, ACCESS is renaming all products that originally had Palm-based names. The first product to be renamed is Palm OS, which is now known as Garnet OS.
So now I am scratching my head. What the (you enter your favorite phrase here).
I don't know..maybe this will be a good thing as they can branch it out more..give it a look that they don't think will fly with Palm users might or might not be ok with under the Palm name??? Who knows. Anyway...I am still struggling to get the stupid examples to even build and run on my machine. I am sure I've done something wrong. *sigh*. I may have finally found the tutorials that I am looking for a while back but haven't gotten around to trying it again. We'll see.
Anyway...I shall get off my soap box now. Just was surprised.
yeah, this name shuffle sounds vaguely like a software company I knew of a while ago that split and somehow the part of the company with all the legacy products didn't keep the name.
ReplyDeletethe new and improved (read: alm) products got to keep the cool name.
