Palm emulated on the iPhone: finally we can leave that IIIc at home

StyleTap, the folks behind the CrossPlatform Palm emulator for Windows Mobile have built a proof of concept version of the software for the iPhone / iPod touch. They're not committing to releasing any such product, and aren't releasing the software as a beta or anything like that at the moment, but the video demo of the software in action is certainly promising. All the apps are rather responsive, the device benchmarks a good bit faster than the Tungsten | T, and Apple's keyboard is even integrated into the proceedings quite nicely. Video is after the break.

Fantastic! I can finally retire my old T3 and get a Window Mobile based device.

Although HotSync isn't supported, wow Palm OS runs better, faster, same rez, and NOW on Apple's BSD platform years before Palm can come up with a working Linux platform.

Death bells for Palm, Inc if the whole community can just move over to mobile OSX and skip the PalmInc middleman.
