Er is al veel over geschreven. Hier nog meer incl. screenshots, upgrade info en technisch informatie voor developers.

Cobalt Features

Here's a run-down on the new and/or improved features in Cobalt:

Native support for fast ARM-based processors --
Translates to faster applications, especially processor-intense functions such as multimedia applications.
Support for Landscape and Portrait Mode --
Support will be built-in for this as opposed to licencees having to develop their own code to do it
Enhanced Multimedia Support --
PalmSource is integrating enhanced multimedia technology from the BeOS it acquired into OS 6.
Threading and Background Processes --
This means true multi-tasking, running multiple applications at the same time.
Protected Memory and Process Protection --
Each application has its own block of memory (called a dynamic heap). This in conjunction with process protection, helps to keep a single buggy program from crashing the whole device.
No more 16-Category and 4K Memo Limits --
Finally!
Roaming on wireless networks --
This allows, for example, roaming from Wi-Fi to GPRS seamlessly.
Pluggable I/O Interfaces --
Allow the various OS licencees to chose what input methods are supported. Eg. Graffiti2 or keyboard.
Enhanced Security
View Files in Native Format --
Microsoft Office and Adobe Acrobat Files (PDF's)
Support for Web services and Email Servers -- Built-in support for Microsoft Exhange and Lotus

Bedankt voor de link. Nu het er op lijkt dat we eind dit jaar dan eindelijk modellen met Cobalt te zien gaan krijgen is het weer interessant om naar de stand van zaken te kijken.
Ik ga dan ook onze Cobalt info-pagina weer bijwerken.

Groeten, Roel.
