I hope this wasn't forgotten and that it could be done (if at all possible)...

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.
