They knew "a couple of years ago"?!?
Palm had been trying to make a successor to Garnet not for a couple of years but 7 long painful years!!!
But I'm not bitter, hey 
Add a little more context-- he said "We really knew a couple of years ago that we needed to reinvent the core operating system that we were working on at the time.
Kinda sounded to me like they were working on a new OS (as you mentioned 7 long years) and realized a couple years ago that they were just not on the right path or that what they'd come up with was outdated. Yeah I agree it's ridiculous it's taken them this long to come up with a replacement to what seems to me an ancient software platform... just thought the quote was a bit out of context, making it sound like he was suggesting it was 2 years ago the light went on that Palm / Garnet OS needed replacing, haha.
