Access, the company that bought out PalmSource, has just released a successor to the Palm OS: Access Linux Platform 3.0. As a glance at the conversations below will tell you, there's some mixed response to this news. Should ALP 3.0 take off, we'll have a healthy ecosystem of mobile operating systems to choose from with Google Android, Microsoft's Windows Mobile, iPhone and iPod Touch's OS X variant, and the Symbian platform used by Nokia. Since ALP 3.0 is a Linux-based system, it is open source, and joins Google's Android and the Symbian platform as open alternatives to the closed systems owned by Apple and Microsoft.

See the conversations below for more details.
