With the hype building around Palm’s business-saving Palm Pre and its finger-friendly, uber-intuitive Web OS, it was only a matter of time before some enterprising mobile developer cranked out a Web OS-themed skin for the Palm OS. Today, we see the TealOS bringing the Web OS’s versatile UI to Palm devices running the Palm OS 5.0. PreThinking has posted video that shows the Palm Centro running the TealOS skin on top of its Palm OS. Impressive stuff, indeed!

The TealOS offers the same look and feel of the Web OS, although it lacks the multi-tasking support that makes the Web OS so darn cool – no multi-tasking also means the application cards in TealOS aren’t live, they merely show a particular application’s last-action before being minimized. Still, if the slide-up wave launcher and application “cards” tickle your fancy, the TealOS might be right down your alley.

You can find TealOS at Tealpoint’s website.
