Palm selected Wind River Linux for its standard development and deployment environment that will help speed applications to market, while still meeting the requirements for a stable and robust open mobile platform.(Windriver press release)More interesting is the release of a development suite by Windriver that will allow Palm and possibly others to develop software for the Foleo.
