6.0 (Cobalt) was released before Access bought PalmSource. It was universally rejected by their licensees. They went back to the drawing board and ran into money problems, at which point Access bought them out. Access (who was known for browsers, not OSes btw) examined the current landscape and whether it was possible for them to move forward with a new PalmOS. Since Palm had purchased Handspring and Sony had left the market, Palm was the largest licensee left and they called the shots as to whether PalmOS lived or died. They said no thanks, they were going to work on their own OS, so Access decided to create an OS that was more competive for the future, ALPs. So far only one company has committed to releasing an ALPs device, and after years hasn't released anything.
Give it up man, the Treo line's dead, move on.
