IMO the emulators were a much better idea. They were more portable (i.e.,
they actually _got_ ported to platforms that aren't Windows), and they
carried the bugs of the OS, since the bugs would be in the ROM. Carrying the
bugs of the OS is a good thing, because it's the _only_ way you can work
around them unless you have the real unit.
I hope that PalmSource recognise their mistake and switch back to using
emulation. It shouldn't even be particularly hard, since ARM emulators
aren't exactly uncommon. The GBA emulator was out maybe a week after the
device appeared. GBA emulators now work on every desktop platform. Is it
really so hard to do the same for a PDA? Surely not.
