Bookmark: PalmOS 6.1 simulator

Palm OS Cobalt

Most of you probably couldn’t care much one way or the other, but there were a significant number of people who pretty dang disappointed when it was confirmed that neither the new Tungsten T5 nor the about-to-be-released Treo 650 would run on the latest version of the Palm operating system, OS 6.1/Cobalt (and palmOne’s been hinting it might be until 2006 that they release a PDA that runs on it). If you want to check out what you’ll be missing, PalmSource does have an emulator you can download that’ll let you play around with the different features (true multitasking and better support for multimedia are the biggest improvements). It’s meant for developers, but anyone can download the simulator and mess around with it if they want to see what improvements they’ve made.
