Buy a 3G iPhone, turn it into a Palm Pilot!

StyleTap reckon that, technically speaking, the “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.”

And they say that if you can run an older app, why not? StyleTap solves this problem... well, if the app you want is on the Palm platform, in any case, and they say they are “the best of both worlds” – no changes and no work, just use the old app and off you go.

As you’d expect, StyleTap spruik the fact they already let Windows Mobile users run old Palm apps if they want to, and will soon make the system available for Symbian OS devices too, which is currently in beta testing.

About the only people that are probably really unhappy about this are Palm themselves. Who needs to buy a Palm if you can run that software on a completely different system?

And one final thing: no fake/real 3G iPhone pics today. Maybe later today or tomorrow...
