StyleTap puts Palm apps on Windows Mobile, coming soon for S60 & iPhone

As we may have mentioned, we rather like the old Palm OS devices here at Pocket Picks.  Whatever your misgivings about the PDAs themselves, you can’t deny that they had one of the best libraries of freware and shareware pps around – over 20,000 apps at the last count.

StyleTap is a Palm OS emulator that has been available on Windows Mobile for some time, claiming high levels of compatabilty to that lovely library of apps and games and operating a ‘Runs on StyleTap’ certification program that app developers can use to show their compatibilty with StyleTap.

The publishers have just announced plans for a Symbian port and – crucially – a version for the iPhone.  Assuming they get it working with the iPhone SDK, this could be a great way to extend the  Apple handset’s capabilities.
