Just to clarify, Access was a pre-existing company specialising in web browsers for mobile devices - it wasn't formed from PalmSource. The web browser in both the Sony PSP and PS3 is from Access.

Reading about Palm and their latest crass managerial decision is like watching a soap opera - it's fantastic entertainment! Just glad I don't hold any stock or invested any significant amount of time in their devices otherwise it could be quite upsetting!
