Sony has licensed the OS from Palm. They're going to bring out a range
of handheld multimedia devices.

No prizes for guessing which next generation console these handheld
devices will be able to talk to.

More bad news for Microsoft and WindowsCE (and therefore Sega). But good
news for Psion/Symbian/EPOC too, as Palm and Symbian have struck a deal
to license each other's technology.

Is there anyone apart from Sega and Casio using CE now? Could CE be dead
within the year?
