Palm Pre上会有运行PALMOS的环境么?---StyleTap

寂夜清风

鉴于PALM在发布会上曾经说官方目前没有开发相关环境的计划,但是会允许三方功能出现.

考虑到可能的法律风险和成本问题.PALM很可能会选择由styleTap来解决这个问题.

自从Palm发布了Pre和WebOS以来,我们收到大量的邮件询问或要求我们开发新的平台以在Palm Pre上运行PALMOS程序.
由于目前Palm的信息还很少,在得到底层C/C++ API级别的资料之前,我们是没办法开发这样的平台的.但是目前一切都还为时过早,毕竟产品还没有正式交货.
我们会继续关注这方面的信息,看是否有机会开创新的商机,如果你希望看到一个PalmPre上可用的StleTap(PALM OS模拟器),可以发邮件告诉我们sales@styletap.com,当然同时也要让Palm知道你想让你的PalmOS程序可以在新设备上运行.

' y) t+ B+ H% \$ c! Q. c3 MSince Palm's announcement of the Palm Pre and webOS, we have received many emails asking (and some begging) us to create a version of StyleTap for this new platform.

From Palm's initial public statements about the application interface, it seems unlikely that we would be able to create a version of StyleTap without some assistance from Palm to provide access to the C/C++ level of APIs we would need. However, until we see what actually gets shipped to customers, it's still too early to tell what level of APIs are going to be available.

While we continue to investigate the technical feasibility, we're also assessing if there will be an appropriate business case for creating a product. If you are interested in seeing a version of StyleTap for the Palm Pre, please let us know with a quick email to sales@styletap.com, but also let Palm know that you want to have your PalmOS apps running on this new device.

另一则相关新闻,基本内容与上面类似.都是提到他们已经考虑做这样一个平台,但是还需要得到进一步的相关接口资料(及访问权限).

StyleTap Considering Creating a Palm OS Emulator for webOSBY: Ed Hardy, Brighthand.com Editor
PUBLISHED: 1/15/2009

One of the more controversial features of Palm's new webOS is something it doesn't offer: a way to run Palm OS applications. However, StyleTap may change this, if it finds that making a Palm OS emulator for webOS to be doable.StyleTap Inc. makes an application that allows users to run Palm OS programs on a Windows Mobile device. It is also working on version to bring Palm OS applications to the iPhone/iPod touch. When Brighthand asked Bob Chew, one of StyleTap's founders, if his company is considering a webOS version, he said: From our initial assessment, the situation would be similar to Android or LiMo. Because these platforms are Linux based, it would be theoretically possible to port StyleTap to run on them. However, in order to integrate StyleTap so that it operated seamlessly with the webOS applications, it would require that webOS/Android/LiMo have at least a limited set C/C++ APIs available that are not currently available in the announced version of the webOS SDK. A Broken PromiseSpring of 2007, Palm laid out for all to see its strategy for adding a new operating system to its lineup. It is summarized by the image at left, which Palm publicly released at that time.The plan was to have Palm developers merge the Palm OS with a Linux-based operating system.What has actually happening is Palm OS is being replaced by the Linux-based operating system webOS. There is no merging, as the new operating system will have little or nothing in common with its predecessor.It's not surprising that the people who held out until now, waiting for the promised new platform that can run their legacy Palm OS software, are feeling deceived.It is this group that is hoping for a Palm OS emulator.Gaging InterestStyleTap's Bob Chew has two recommendations for those who would like a Palm OS emulator for webOS.First, they should let Palm know. As it stands now, it seems unlikely StyleTap would be able to create this emulator without some assistance from Palm accessing the C/C++ APIs it needs.In addition, those who are interested should send comments to sales@styletap.com. The company would like know how many would be interested in buying such an emulator.

只要有一点的解决方案，相信伟大的胖子们是一定会想出办法来的

但是一些需要和电脑同步的软件，估计就没戏了，比如DayNotez、Bonsai之类。。。

现在还不知道palm是什么态度，如果开放足够的权限和资料。同步问题应该也是可以解决的

偏偏这些都是非常关键的软件

没错，现在被迫双枪的最大原因就是因为在其他平台上面找不到令我满意的这些软件的替代品，还有一个就是pmtxl，不管别人说了多少比它好的软件，用下来还是这些最舒服。
习惯为王了吧 ~~~
