Will the Linux kernel implementation change the palm programming [APIs] significantly ?
I'm not sure. Based on what PalmSource said at the developer conference, it looks like most of the UI and database APIs will stay the same, but you'll have the standard C library and be using Linux APIs for things like networking. I don't know how much of a compatibility wrapper will be put around those facilities. I expect that PACE will still be there for 68K applications, so code that works well on current devices will continue to work, it's just native ARM applications that will need change.
