IMPORTANT - TealOS Last Call   Topic List   < Prev Topic  |  Next Topic >

Hi folks.

I'm sorry to say that at Palm's request, as of this upcoming Monday, March 30,
we will no longer be selling or distributing TealOS.

We really appreciate the help and unprecedented enthusiasm so many of you have
shown for this product. It's been a long time since we experienced this kind of
customer cooperation, and the program's success came at a badly needed time. We
wish we could continue contributing to this great community.

For those of you who have already purchased the product, your copies will
continue to function, of course, but we encourage you to download the latest
beta copies to insure you have a stable version you are happy with and back it
up to a safe place, as you'll no longer be able to download it after Monday.
We'll continue through the weekend to try to get as many bug fixes and requested
improvements in as we can before then.

Thanks,

-tex
