What do you know new about Palm lately? Not that much do you? But the company isn’t dead. Far from it. It looks Palm has some surprises ready for CES 2009. A new product is supposed to be revealed and a new OS.

Here’s what an analyst for CL King & Associates, Lawrance Harris, said:

It’s quite likely, actually close to a certainty, that they will show a new OS, new user interface and probably new hardware. This is Palm’s last shot to prove it has what it takes to survive in a very competitive market.

The new OS is the Nova. We’ve heard before about this Linux-based OS before and we were expecting it to arrive sometime in 2009. Possibly early 2009? The Nova should bring us that much needed 3G support as we’re all expecting the new Palm handsets to be 3G ready.

Looking forward to CES 2009 then. Who knows what will happen?
