TUAW talks about a possible palmOS emulator for the iPhone. I would be ecstatic if this turned into a product, because then I could run bhajis loops without having to lug my old treo around anymore. :)

Bhaji's doesn't even work in the official Palm Simulator. I have doubts it would work in a 3rd party palm simulator and even if it did it would probably be slow. I bet the use of optimized assembly further complicates this.

Without a stylus, BL would be near impossible to work with. The iPhone does not have one. I have not had one to play with long enough to try a stylus. But as Kaishaku has already said, this probably will not work. I can not find the post, but somewhere Olivier was talking about the reasons emulated palm would not be a working option. I am not ready to spend that much on a phone yet, and quite frankly, I really do like the Palm platform even with it's little quirks. Just found [url=http://www.chocopoolp.com/bhajis/1.7beta.zip ]This. It is rumored that Apple will "control" software that is sold, vs. allowing anything free having no leash. Seems like they might want a cut. But there is still sdk for to even write apps if they wanted to yet.
