New information received by PalmInfocenter indicates that palmOne is 
currently testing a Palm OS 6 upgrade for select current palmOne handhelds. 
Devices with Flashable ROM with enough room to spare to fit the new OS, 
should be able to be upgraded.

A concerned PIC reader wrote into palmOne support to inquire whether 
palmOne would make

to current owners of the 
<http://palminfocenter.pricegrabber.com/search_getprod.php/masterid=787761>Tungsten
 
C. The support person replied back with a detailed response, indicating 
that the company is in fact working on an upgrade.

The support person even indicated that palmOne has not yet finished a 
series of quality tests of standards and performance. He went on to say 
that once the OS passes all the tests a release date for the OS 6 upgrade 
will be published on the <http://www.palmone.com/us/support/>support website.

The support person also went into detail about some of the new features 
included with Palm OS 6. The details of the message are quoted below...

Further, I would like to inform you about the features of the new Palm OS 
v6.0, Palm OS 6 will offer many features business want, like support for 
Web services and accessing Microsoft Exchange and Lotus email servers.

OS 6 will include APIs for roaming on wireless networks. This will allow 
Palm OS handhelds to move between types of wireless networks, like Wi-Fi to 
GPRS, without the user having to go through the hassle of logging off one 
network and logging on to another.

To help ensure that the operating system is stable, the new version 
includes a protected memory system, so each application has its own dynamic 
heap. It also includes process protection.
