Those applications (and I'm fond of many of them and still use the most important ones) can only run in a PalmOS environment, they cannot run directly under Linux. To do that Nokia would have to transform our Maemo Linux platform to a Garmin Virtual Machine, and Access has already done that -- it's not something Palm can provide, this hasn't been on their table. The way to go to get more use of those 29,000 apps would be to improve the Access GVM experience/integration. To pay 2 billion for Palm wouldn't gain anything.
