Here is the official CES video of the Palm PRE (very detailed presentation of the UI). The UI is pretty slick.

Maybe we'll see a Maemo port

Palm doesn't announced any intention to release the OS as Open Source, at this time .

I'm not sure they have a choice. The OS is GPL licensed. Maybe you mean they have no intentions of releasing the UI and/or the their browser?

The browser implement HTML5 ... so with webkit i think some of the apps can be easily port to maemo.

Palm doesn't announced anything about the release of the OS or some parts of it, but I have the same thought, since some OS parts are licensed as GPL, they have to release it I think. We will see .

Now this is what we need. We don't need to "sync" our data, we need to aggregate it!

The first is something that Palm calls Synergy, which allows you to pull together contacts and calendars from lots of different sources, but without altering or merging that data. Synergy will grab the same contact from Facebook, Gmail, and Outlook, then combine those into a "stack" of info for that person on your phone. It looks for duped data, so you don't get doubles of phone numbers or names. It's essentially a contact aggregator, and if they can pull this off, it will end a lot of headaches for a lot of people. It looks like it will do the same for calendars, and it's also pooling IM services together, allowing for modes where you can keep a threaded conversation going with someone over SMS, AIM, GTalk, and other services. It's heady stuff, and only time (and use) will tell if this does what they say it will -- but right now it looks like a terrifically unique and innovative way to handle a myriad of data.

Palm Mojo sounds interesting (their CSS/XHTML/JS app framework) for apps such as todo lists, calendars etc. Not quite sure how one'd implement, say, an SSH client though.

I suppose there's no reason you couldn't get low-level socket access, and terminal emulators have been done in JavaScript. But it'd be a whole new SSH implementation, security holes 'n' all.
