According to news out of the European Developer conference, PalmSource plans to continue to develop Palm OS 5, even after OS 6 is finished. The company will release a special version of OS 5 that will target mobile phones.
PalmSource just announced that the next generation Palm OS 6 will be complete on December 29th. Palm OS 6 will be aimed at high end converged devices and traditional handhelds.
According to a report in the Computer Business Review, PalmSource will continue to develop OS 5 and will create a special telephony version of OS 5 aimed at low-end "feature phones." PalmSource president and CEO David Nagel told journalists at the company's European developer conference in Munich, Germany yesterday that the maturity of OS 5 will make it ideal for use on mass-market handsets.
The version will be aimed at Smartphones and other low-end "feature phones." PalmSource feels that the small and compact footprint for OS 5 makes it the ideal choice for these types of devices and will bring lower price points and higher volume. PalmSource has not announced a time frame, but it is expected sometime next year.
The report also uncovers that, PalmSource will release a software development kit for OS 6 at its spring conference on February 10 next year.

歐洲開發者研討會的消息，PalmSource計畫繼續開發Palm OS 5，即使在OS 6已經完成之後。將會公佈OS 5的特別版本，目標是行動電話。
PalmSource才剛剛公佈下一代的Palm OS 6將會在12月29日完成，Palm OS 6將會使用在高階及一般傳統的機種上。
根據Computer Business Review的報導，PalmSource將會繼續開發OS 5的特別版本，用在較低階的「功能性電話」。PalmSource覺得OS 5比較小巧，所以比較適合手機作業系統，可以用較低價格帶來較高價值。PalmSource沒有宣布時間表，不過預計會在明年公佈。
這篇報導指出PalmSource將會在明年2月10日春天研討會中公佈OS 6開發套件。
