The licensing of Palm OS by Nintendo makes people speculate about the possible use of the OS in the Nintendo DS portable console. The fact that the DS has a touch screen certainly helps to draw a relation with the Palm OS.
Nintendo filed (on Dec 7) a patent related to the Palm OS licensing under the name V-pocket. At the moment, the V-pocket trademark will be used by Nintendo in Japan only because in the U.S, V-poket is owned by Sports Licensing, Inc.
E3 (Electronic Entertainment Exposition) will probably bring a lot of answers to this, but in the meantime, Nintendo's comment is: "We are filing hundreds of patent and trademark applications every year, and it is our policy not to comment on any one of them."
