The Palm OS will now be known as Garnet OS, Access, a global provider of advanced software technologies to the mobile and beyond-PC markets announced Thursday.
Garnet was originally the code name used by PalmSource for Palm OS 5.4, the most current version of the software.
The renaming is part of a process begun in October 2006, when Access announced that its subsidiary, PalmSource, the developer of Palm OS, would also take the name Access.
Access will eventually remove all reference to Palm from its products as part of a previous agreement to sell PalmSource’s rights in the Palm Trademark Holding Company to Palm.
If you’re a Palm OS user and supporter like I am, be sure to check out the licensing agreement between Palm and Access.
