"The decision to abandon Mac desktop support in its new Palm Cobalt OS stemmed from the Sunnyvale, Calif.-based company's limited development resources, PalmSource officials said Thursday. They stressed, however, that Mac users will still be able to rely on third-party developer software for the important function of synchronizing data between their computers and Palm-powered handhelds," reports AP.

PalmSource is run by a former top Apple executive, David Nagel.
