Still having trouble with this one. Why oh why? I suppose there are some Palm fans out there that will appreciate this. The good thing about this emulator is it’s much faster than the Palm OS running on an actual Palm device. The emulator has not been released yet, and probably won’t be until the launch of the iPhone SDK. Check out the video below.

Why oh why?For the simple reason that you could get some third party apps!
Used to love playing hiarcs on my treo.
Don’t get me wrong there are plenty of things I don’t miss about my treo, lost calls, frequent resets, Missing Sync!!
But I do miss my third party apps.
Keeping my fingers crossed for the end of Feb!

haha, “Why oh why?” is definitely the best way of putting it!
Too funny. This video makes the graphics appear horrendous and one of the beauties of the iPhone is it’s interface. Oh well.

I was asking myself the exact same question!
ZX81 emulator for iPhone anyone?!

Why? Well, put yourselves in the shoes of somebody who wants an iPhone, but who has owned a Palm or Treo for years, and actually uses it for work and play… That means they have a lot of programs and information on their Palm that cannot be transferred to an iPhone. Even with the SDK, it’s going to take a while before all the Apps on my Treo can be replaced by an iPhone App. So in the meantime, this would allow me to migrate to the iPhone and not have to carry two devices in order to have all my info. Perfect! This little bit of news was great for me; it means now I don’t have to worry about getting an iPhone. It’s like having your cake and eating it too.

I have a lot of Palm software and data files that I use daily–things I have paid for. I want to be able to continue to use them. Some of it has not been updated in years and will therefore not likely be ported to the iPhone. Some of it I have not seen on any other platform. Thats “Why oh Why?”
