PalmSource partners with MontaVista

PalmSource has partnered with MontaVista Software to develop Linux-based smartphone software. The deal probably doesn't do a whole lot for PalmSource, other than give it a little more cred with the Linux smartphone developer community. It may, however, help third-party developers, as they transition their PalmOS apps to Linux. And, of course, that'll help MontaVista, which competes directly with PS in the mobile OS market, and unlike PS, already has a functioning Linux-based OS on the market.
