2@@9 the year of Operating Systems

This year while Apple is expected to release a new version of its Mac OS, Palm is betting on the Nova to shore up its rapidly-sinking fortunes. Then there is Nokia, which is taking its Symbian Series 60 into the touch territory with the Fifth Edition. This, even as it works with the Symbian Foundation to come up with an open-source Symbian operating system. BlackBerry will further tweak its OS, while there's a fair chance that iPhone's next edition will offer something new. Looming in the back ground are Windows 7 (though, we do not expect an official release in 2009) and several Linux versions.
