StyleTaps 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....

By the time you add all of these apps up it's going to cost you way to much.

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.

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

Previously on alt.cellular.cingular, Larry said:

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.
