Hi Jeff et al.

I thought you might like to check out this set of Palm Emulators for
Android platforms available here:

http://perpendox.com/

I just learned about this via the GTD-Palm mailing list.  I will append the
message from "dvm407" below.

Hope all is well with you and yours!

1a PHEM: new Android Palm emulator

At 0.99 cents, it is worth a try, and for that reason alone I will not
critize it too strongly, but in general it is rather slow, I guess it
depends on your Android device, so far only tried one.

The two relevant points to make are:

1-It supposedly runs any pre OS5 program, running some acceptably
(memoleaf) , though I am unhappy with how it runs Acrowiki. You maybe
unhappy with how the screen looks in a small cell phone.

2-Perhaps the most important point of all, it actually Hotsyncs with the
Palm Desktop!!! There is no other emulator that does Hotsync in Android so
far (Styletap is much, much better, and runs OS5 programs, but without
Hotsync, and at $50 bucks, it is dead in the water).


So there you are, is there anyone left here who cares about this
information?


I will leave most of the technical details for you to read at
http://perpendox.com/


P.S. Some programs are designed for running in both OS5 and pre OS5, but
the data files for each are a bit different, and if you accidentally put
OS5 data files in this emulator (as I did with Diddlebug), it will crash.
