Palm OS Emulator Hits–No Joke–Nokia Nseries

ACCESS is still around, despite the slow, sad death of Palm OS. So how’s this for awesome: The company has just released Garnet VM Beta 5 for certain Nokia Nseries smartphones–specifically, the tablets. That means Nokia N810, N800, and N770 owners can run Palm OS apps in a virtual session within Symbian Series 60.

The emulator works with over 30,000 Palm OS apps, including Google Maps, Snappermail, Bejeweled, Pocket tunes, Kinoma Player 4 E, and Sudoku. The company is claiming 80 percent compatibility validation with hundreds of best-selling Garnet OS apps, and is soliciting feedback from users.

The emulator requires 3.5MB of RAM and 16MB of storage; it offers plenty of customization options and works with HotSync synchronization.
