Re: Run 30,000 Palm OS apps on your Nokia Internet Tablet
 

So far it works great. I have installed a few of the day-to-day apps I still use on the Palm, they work flawlessly. Including the Lufthansa flight planner. GVM has failed on me a couple of times, not when running applications but when launching them. There may be some memory leak issues or something, but no big deal as long as it doesn't crash while running apps. I've only run m68k apps so far, read that posting about armlets trouble.

I wonder if it's any use trying the calendar.. presumably it won't honour any alarms unless the GVM is fully up and running? As it takes over the N800 screen completely (I didn't find a way to switch to another application anyway) it's not very practical to keep it running..

But I'm a pretty happy camper so far!

The applications and games I've tried so far run great. I tried eReader and was surprised that even though the screen is small, I can read ebooks without any problems at all. Of course it would be better if the screen were larger on the emulator but I'm very happy with it so far.

The more things change the more they remain the same!
looking forward to having my card games and conversion programs running and have a decent handheld browser.

OK... I don't have an N800 yet. I was an EARLY adopter of the Tapwave Zodiac and I'm still using it. Having two SD slots, gameability and 8GB of media on a device with 480x320 resolution has been great. With the PIM it enabled the device to be work and play. I've used it for about 50/50 work & play.

Before anyone goes nuts with, 'no you can't' about the 8GB on a Palm OS device, chill. I have it sitting in front of me with two 4GB SD (not SDHC) cards in it. Yes those exist too.

The ONLY thing that has held me back on buying an N800 is the fact that I have about a thousand or so contacts in my Palm OS address book. The N800's lack of a real PIM system is a deal killer.

So, would this emulation enable the N800 to finally be the PDA / game emulator / media player / internet tablet to replace my cherished Zodiac 2?

How long does it take and how many keystrokes/taps does it take to go from the N800 in standby mode to looking up contacts in the emulated PIM? Will the Palm Emulated databases sync in any way?
