I've always liked Palm.
Truth is...I still use my old Palm Treo 650 :)

(Ok I don't want that phone, but someone does...)
That would be me... sorry!

If my Treo 600 had had an interchangeable battery, I'd still be using it. The battery died of old age. :(

(And Wow! hasn't MyTreo.net changed!)

In few years Maemo and Symban will be indistinguishable for 'common user' due to Qt layer and together will still be most popular platform in the world.
Iphone and Blackberry will be minor but significant platforms.
Palm's WebOS will be slowly fading away.
I am not sure about great destiny of Android. Big corporations (Nokia, Samsung, LG) won't like to put software into hands of third party after Apple proved how important that layer is (this is IMO also reason for demise of non-Nokia Symbian phones and why Maemo will not catch there). And this Big Three is about 70% of market or more.
Similar for WinMo.

It sounds interesting, but it's the reality that's important, not how is sounds. According to Eldar we'll see the first devices using this "kind of OS" either late next year, or early 2011. As of now, they're only prototypes in their early stage.
That's a shame, Samsung make some nice devices; but they keep on putting an OS I would never use on them :(
