For now, it is good enough to carry around old databases that you don't want to convert. But a stamp size virtual screen is hardly useful for real work - the original Palm screen resolutions are minuscule at the high pixel pitch of the IT series. Readers will barely be useful until they add high-res emulation beyond the capabilities of Palm hardware.
I'm a former long-time OS/2 user and I've always felt that one of the things that ended up hurting OS/2 was it's ability to seamlessly run Win3.X programs. Why? Because many developers simply wrote for the Microsoft platform, knowing that OS/2 users could run the applications mainly hassle-free.
We need a vibrant developer community and native applications more than emulation software.
Just awesome and the kind of thing I was waiting for. I have a ton of Palm apps that I wanted to see the equivelents of some for the 810 and now it looks like I can have them all! I hope this is the real deal but since Access bought PalmSoft they havethe capability and rights to do this.. this is really sticking it to Palm and they deserve it.
Thanks for the link btw., I was just about to asking you folks how long it took to get that email.. got nothing so far. But in the meantime I can actually try it now!
