Uphill battleUphill battlePosted Jan 6, 2009 6:41 UTC (Tue) by BrucePerens (subscriber, #2510)Parent article: Palm needs Nova to shine (San Francisco Chronicle) Much as I appreciate that they're using Linux, I've not seen enough of Nova to convince me that Palm has a chance in heck at this late date. But then, I've had trouble believing that Symbian had long-term legs, even when they were paying me for advice. I'd love to see what differentiates Palm's new platform. Android seems to have a leg up on the others. And I have not given up on OpenMoko's various efforts, although their last software platform seems to have been a false start. OpenMoko gets the "openness" part better than Google does so far. By the way, "no va" is a terrible name if you consider what it means in Spanish. How'd they miss Chevy's experience? Bruce

"Nova" is confused with "no va" in Spanish only if you're not a native Spanish speaker.
