I am also very interested in moving to Android as I can no longer wait
for Palm OS licensed devices like those supposedly coming from Aceeca,
and the Janam units are to expensive. GarnetVM may be an option as this
thread suggests
http://androidforums.com/android-applications/1905-running-palm-os-based-software-g1.html
but I don't want an emulator (tried StyleTap unsucessfully) and so it is
time to bite the bullet, so as Doug asks, a resource would be useful to
help pave the way...

Edward Jones

Does anyone know of a resource (blog, whitepaper, etc.) that discusses
issues regarding "porting" PalmOS applications to the Android platform?
I put "porting" in quotes because it's probably really more of a
complete rewrite than a simple OS port. But it would be interesting to
see someone's take on handling issues such as syncing data from a user's
PC when you really don't have the equivalent of Hotsync functionality.
Also how to replace the PalmOS's PDB structure with data in a format
more suitable to the platform and the Java language, differences in UIF
paradigms, etc.
