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..

at the time, palm was two companies, mainly to avoid issues with antitrust as they where licensing the os to third parties while also selling devices using said os.

problem was that the os company came up with cobalt, but as garnet had the market time it had, noone wanted to jump to cobalt as it had no way to run the existing software library.
