The blog post seems to contradict other headlines and stories on the topic.

I've been confused, because indications that I got were that Palm plans to drop the Linux-based Foleo in favor of Linux development.

See, for example, http://www.informationweek.com/story/showArticle.jhtml?artic...

Quoting: Part of that effort includes a new Linux-based operating system that Palm plans to use across its future smartphones.


Also, Google News has several headlines. http://news.google.com/?ncl=1120343639&hl=en

Another example: http://www.internetnews.com/wireless/article.php/3697766

Quoting: Colligan said Palm is still working on Foleo II but remains primarily focused on getting the newest version of the Linux-based Palm OS to market.
{edit} Here is where I got my initial impressions from: http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS4680439488.html LinuxDevices says,
Quoting: Colligan said the move would cost the company $10 million in earnings, but allow it to focus on a single Linux smartphone development platform going forward.
And...
Quoting: The "new platform" may be based on Wind River Linux...
