Access, owners of the Palm OS now known as Garnet, have released a version of that platform for the Nokia Internet tablets N810, N800 and N770, providing access to the thousands of Palm applications still out there.
The release is a free download, and prominently labelled "beta", but can be installed alongside the pre-installed Linux-based OS and run when needed. Users are invited to report applications which work, and any that don't, but Access is promoting the software as being able to run 30,000+ Palm OS apps.
Of course, Access is supposed to be working on their Access Inc's mobile Linux Project (ALP), which would see the Palm OS ported to a Linux kernel and remains a work in progress.
We recently portrayed Palm OS development as dead, only to be lambasted by StyleTap, creators of the Palm OS emulator for Windows Mobile.MORE HERE
