Palm's new OS?

So Palm announce today that they have been working on their own new OS based on a linux kernel. This leaves me with lots of questions.

- When will palm bring out new hardware and will it have the new OS on it?
- How compatible will old apps be with the new OS?
- Will the new OS give new musical possibilities?
- Will a linux kernel mean it is easier to port existing linux music apps to the new palm OS?

I'm sure that more details will appear as the days go on, and I dare say that there will be lots of speculation on how this new OS will change the palm ecosystem.
