Palm OS Emulator Application Palm also announced that MotionApps is creating an emulator application that will allow most Palm OS applications to run on webOS devices. The application, called "Classic," will be available for purchase when the Palm Pre phone becomes available from Sprint in the first half of 2009, and gives users peace of mind as they transition to Palm's new webOS. Since Palm OS applications running in Classic won't be able to leverage core webOS functionality, Palm is working with partners to ensure that popular Palm OS applications are made available on the webOS platform and are optimized to take advantage of everything it has to offer. In the meantime, the MotionApps Classic application will allow customers who have invested in the Palm OS platform to use Palm OS applications they've grown to love and depend upon on their new webOS devices. Additionally, MotionApps notes that "compared to the Treo 700p for example, your existing PalmOS apps will run approximately twice as fast with Classic" on the Palm Pre.

Take FlightView, which features built-in notifications so you know when your flight's delayed. Or Fandango, which lets you buy movie tickets from your Palm PreT phone and add the times right to your calendar.1 Call it webOS integration or call it thinking ahead. Either way, it's a beautiful thing. http://www.palm.com/us/emails/pre/applications.html Salam, Nico ------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------- id-Palm Facebook : http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=8940696957 id-Palm Web Portal: http://www.id-palm.com Yahoo!
