Palm OS Emulator Gets New Version (Not for Pre)

Possibly attempting to jump on board all the Palm Pre hype, ACCESS today announced a new version of their Garnet VM Palm OS emulator for Nokia's relatively little used, but much loved Linux handheld tablets. ACCESS are the folks who ended up with ownership of the Palm OS, the ten-year-old OS that Palm is finally leaving behind with the Pre. The Palm OS still has millions of users, though, and over 30,000 third-party applications according to ACCESS, so Garnet VM helps make the Nokia N810 and its brethren more useful.Palm Pre owners will get a Palm OS emulator as well, but not from ACCESS. The "Classic" emulator, from MotionApps, is anticipated to launch with the Palm Pre on June 6th.
