ACCESS Linux Platform 3.0 released: Yes it's another mobile phone OS
ALP could show up on future mobile phones and PDAs. But here's the rub - you might not find it on future Palm branded devices, because Palm is still working on its own operating system.
ACCESS Linux Platform will come in two flavors. ALP supports PalmOS Garnet apps and native Linux apps designed for LiMo devices. There's also a new ALP mini platform that's designed for "feature phones" instead of smartphones. ALP Mini won't support PalmOS apps and isn't LiMo capable, but it should be good enough for most phones that you use primarily to make calls, send text messges, and maybe do a little web surfing.

Dunno about adding ALP to an existing phone, probably need custom hardware interface code for each phone.
But looks like Emblaze is in the process of releasing a couple of ALP phones (one now, one in 2009) and there are claims of more to come.
