Palm Computing is to release not only two major updates to the PalmOS between now and the end of the year, but it will also release a Palm organiser with a colour display. Details are patchy -- actually, details are non-existent -- but that's what new Palm president Alan Kessler has promised readers of US magazine The Business Journal. Updates are expected, but the colour screen is a feature users have been demanding and Palm not supplying for some time. It has also been a key differentiator between the Palm platform and Windows CE devices, which have been colour-enabled for some time. Kessler apparently didn't say which Palms would get the colour treatment, but the Palm V has to be the obvious candidate. ®
