  This from BrightHand, Ed Hardy, today --

"Before I get started on what webOS is, I have to cover what it isn't: it's not Palm OS II. 
Specifically, it does not have the ability to run legacy Palm OS applications.
Palm says it expects there to be a third-party Palm OS emulator released for webOS, and I 
wouldn't be surprised if the people from StyleTap aren't already looking into it. But Palm 
itself isn't going to write one. Instead, it's going to encourage developers to port their 
Palm OS applications to webOS, and says the process should be relatively simple if the 
software was written in C++."

  We'll see .....
