Palm's mobile operating system revolutionized the handheld computer and helped usher in the smartphone, but the struggling mobile device maker has decided it is time to hop on the Linux bandwagon.

Company executives said this week they were developing a new platform based on the Linux operating system as part of their plan to turn around the company’s fortunes. Critics have argued that Palm’s aging operating system has failed to keep pace with rapid developments in mobile multimedia. Analysts said the move to Linux could help Palm develop cheap Treo phones that are technologically advanced.
