Nintendo DS to use Palm OS?

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.”
