PalmSource has released two operating system updates — one major and one minor. PalmSource’s Cobalt is an almost entirely new OS aimed at giving enterprise users more flexibility, while Garnet is a collection of minor updates to an earlier version of the popular Palm operating system. Cobalt OS features multitasking capabilities that will be key for corporate-computing environments in which users work with multiple applications. The new Garnet OS, more a collection of networking updates than an entirely new OS like Cobalt, picks up where version 5 of the Palm OS left off.
