It was BeOS, which had amazing possibilities for there next device. Sadly it never bared any fruit quick enough.

Palm OS Cobalt introduced modern operating system features to an embedded operating system based on a new kernel with multitasking and memory protection, a modern multimedia and graphic framework (derived from Palm's acquired BeOS), new security features, and adjustments of the PIM file formats to better cooperate with Microsoft Outlook.
Even though I wasn't gonna get one anytime soon, I was still rooting for them. Hopefully some of the employees make a startup and use meego and there base os with palm like UI..
