Palm apps might be coming to the iPhone/iPod Touch

StyleTap, makers of PalmOS emulation software for Windows Mobile is showing off a video demonstrating their software running on an iPod Touch. The company has made it abundantly clear that there are no plans at this point to release StyleTap for the iPhone/iPod. But you know, they could if they wanted to.

Apple hasn't actually released an SDK for the iPhone yet, so the only way to run third party applications like the one StyleTap is demonstrating would be to hack your iPhone. Since StyleTap is a commercial product, we're going to go out on a limb and assume they wouldn't sell software that requires you to Jailbreak your iPhone. The company would probably wait until after the SDK is released before launching any sort of a product.

In the meantime, StyleTap is working on a version that will run on Symbian phones.

Being able to run Palm apps(thousands are available) would *cause* me to purchase an iPhone. I would not be able to resist any further.

As it is, the serious lack of available apps, is why I won't buy an iphone. I will stick with my Treo which can do more than the iPhone(just not as slick) or buy the new Centro.

Are you listening Apple?

Hopefully they won't use the same freaking GUI. I hate the look of my Treo apps.
