From the link:
"Palm has been secretly at work on this OS for a number of years,"

Not so secretly, really. It's been known for the last couple of years or so (I can't remember exactly when I saw it first), because Palm (then PalmOne) has been openly advertising open job positions for Linux developers.

What I don't really get is why they didn't choose to work closer with PalmSource (now Access) with this instead. Now there will be two Linux/PalmOS solutions, which possibly won't be good for anyone.
