    StyleTap’s Palm OS emulator officially coming to iPhone and iPod touch
    May 31, 2008

    StyleTap Inc. today announced plans to bring to market a version of
    StyleTap® CrossPlatform for the iPhone™ and the iPod® touch, which
    will instantly allow over 20,000 mobile applications to run on these
    popular devices. Further information about the product, including how
    it will be marketed and sold, will be made available in early July
    2008.

    http://www.mobiletechaddicts.com/200...nd-ipod-touch/

    “The iPhone is one of the hottest new mobile devices out there,” said
    Gregory Sokoloff, CEO of StyleTap Inc., “And the response to our video
    has convinced us that many, many consumers, and companies, will
    eagerly jump at the change to buy iPhone devices if they can continue
    to run their must-have applications.”

    Technically, StyleTap CrossPlatform is an excellent fit with the
    iPhone, as the powerful processor and large screen allows applications
    written for Palm OS® devices to run at full speed and at full screen
    resolution. The iPhone touch screen technology works in a very natural
    way with mobile applications originally designed for touch screen
    devices.

    About time....We've just got version 2 of Garnet VM for the Nokia
    Linux tablets. They listened and went to landscape mode with a neat
    rotator if you want. It has lots more of Palm's features, but the
    tablet doesn't support IR comms, only BT and wifi. I connect to Palm
    Desktop on the PC over my LAN or the internet and HotSync works very
    nicely that way.

    I was at the Apple Store inside Best Buy and paired the N800 with an
    Air notebook over OBEX push. I transferred some files back and forth
    from the tablet's file manager to the Air. It's slower than BT on my
    WinXP box, but it will do it once you wade through the OSX menus and
    turn sharing and stuff on.

    The Apple guy just stood there in awe. He didn't have a clue when I
    asked him....

    Welcome to Palm OS. iPhone now has thousands of FREEWARE programs to
    go with the bloatware....

    This quoted from palmaddict.com may be another reason why Access/Garnet
    isn't doing iPhone:

    "ACCESS Linux Platform(TM)

    In addition to Garnet OS, ACCESS is developing its next-generation platform
    for mobile phones and converged devices -- the ACCESS Linux Platform(TM) --
    the industry's first fully integrated, commercial grade Linux®-based
    platform for mobile phones and devices. The ACCESS Linux Platform will
    include a Garnet OS compatibility layer, currently known as GHost (Garnet
    (TM) Host). ACCESS has publicly demonstrated that most properly written 68K
    Garnet OS applications will run on ACCESS Linux Platform-based devices with
    little or no modification."

    ......and I think the Maemo Linux tablets are a "test bed" because they are
    letting us have it free.....and asking us to do survey and bug reports...

    Sure works cool and runs fast...(c;

    There is no such company. "Garnet" is PalmOS 5, which is wholly owned
    by Palm, Inc, the company that develops the Treo. Palm, Inc, bought it
    (back) from Access, the company that bought the company that was spun
    off from Palm Inc a few years ago when some numbwit decided it would be
    a Good Idea to separate the OS development from the hardware
    development.

    That so-called Good Idea had the net result of OS stagnation when OS 6,
    aka "Cobalt", was never adopted by any Palm OS licensee (including
    Palm), but some of its features were shoehorned into OS5 resulting in
    massive stability and compatibility problems which in turn resulted in
    the erosion of market share.

    What, me bitter? What ever gave you that idea?

    Look around. There's NO REFERENCE to Palm OS, anywhere. It no longer
    exists. Palm sells software for the Garnet OS environment, Sellphones and
    accessories. It does NOT sell Palm OS, which it sold to Access, a Linux
    developer, who renamed it Garnet OS.

    While some of that is interesting, none of that has anything to do with
    my rant. The development items you reference could have been done by a
    still-singular Palm Inc either as its own company or as a purchased
    asset owned by Access, which I, as an end-user, would have preferred
    over what we have now.

    I don't know if the end result would have been different than what we
    have now with the Treo, but at least there would be reasonable hope
    that what the world sees as Palm isn't about to die.

    With all of what you linked about Access, does any of that show any
    indication of if or when devices will actually be available for
    purchase either by themselves or from licensees? And note that I do
    not particularly care about the Chinese market, and I care only a
    little more than that about the European market. I'm in North America,
    I want to know if/when +I+ will be able to buy a true new or upgrade
    Palm compatible smartphone.

    I never said that Palm Inc +sells+ the OS. I said that they +bought+
    it from Access. Palm Inc did that to free themselves from being stuck
    with licensing an OS that bears their name from another company, and
    make changes to it on their own schedule.

    My rant is that if they never split the company in the first place,
    then they would have had to buy back what was originally theirs in the
    first place, development time would not have been wasted, major
    software developers and users probably would not be abandoning the
    platform.

    Access purchased Palm OS from Palm, Inc.

    Access changed the name of the product to Garnet OS.

    Palm still has an unlimited license to develop Access' product.

    Palm still sells Palm equipment and writes/sells Palm software for the
    Garnet OS product.

    The earth is Millions of years old, in spite of what Christian children are
    taught to ignore a mountain of evidence that it is only 8000 years old.

    Well, that simply is not true. Access owns the OS, now, and Palm has an
    unlimited license to use it.

    Wrong. Access purchased PalmSource from PalmSource after Palm, Inc
    split itself into two companies. PalmSource was the owner of the OS,
    PalmOne, the other half of the split, was the owner of the hardware.

    After all the legal issues of the split were resolved, PalmOne changed
    its name back to Palm, Inc. PalmSource was eventually purchased by
    Access. Palm, Inc then eventually purchased from Access full and
    unlimited rights to Palm OS5, aka "Garnet".

    > Access changed the name of the product to Garnet OS.


    OS5 has, if not always then at least for a long time, been called
    "Garnet" within itself. This is common practice among OS developers.
    MacOSX is called "Leopard". Various versions of Windows have been
    called, at times, "Chicago", "Memphis" and "Longhorn".

    > Palm still has an unlimited license to develop Access' product.


    No, they have an unlimited license to develop OS5 and not use the
    Access name because they purchased the OS, rather than are licensing
    it.

    > Palm still sells Palm equipment and writes/sells Palm software for the
    > Garnet OS product.


    I never said they didn't.

    Since when is Access a "Linux developer?"

    They are a mobile device/embedded OS software developer that programs for
    multiple environments. Their main products are web browsers (NetFront) for
    mobile/embedded devices. Heck, they'd write CP/M programs as well if it
    made a comeback.

    I assume they bought Palm OS to develop/offer a simple OS/browser "combo"
    with a robust environment for the (relatively) "tiny" development space
    they typically work in.

    Calling them "Linux developers" is a bit silly- developers like Access may
    certainly have preferences, but they are platform agnostic- they go where
    the paycheck is.
