Palm's next-gen OS delayed

Is having one less new OS to learn a blessing for those who must manage the devices?

RIM, Nokia and Apple are proving that keeping your hardware and OS in the same house works better for high end mobile devices. It would behoove Plam to keep everything in house. Why they spread everything to separate companies is beyond me. (Palm originals, OS rented out to 3rd parties like IBM and Sony, HandSpring which they bought back, selling the OS to Access. Sure, redesign under Linux to save some OS development overhead, but keep the UI and HW design in house.
