According to reports in Taiwan's Digitimes, Palm is planning on releasing its first Linux-based smartphone in October.
The news report, citing unnamed sources, said that "Palm's new smartphone will be based on the Linux platform developed for consumer devices by Wind River Systems, a continuation of cooperation between the two companies following Palm's launch of its "mobile companion," the Foleo, in the second quarter of this year."
The report said that the new smartphone will enable software to be easily swapped between the new handsets and the Foleo companions.
As it stated earlier, Palm also plans to continue to support Windows Mobile-based handsets as well.
