StyleTap finally brings Palm OS to your iPhone

Well it’s been a long time coming, but now you can finally run your favorite Palm OS apps on your (jailbroken) iPhone. The good folks at StyleTap have taken that exciting demo we saw way back in May of 2008 and turned it into a Cydia-downloadable reality. As we said, you’ll need to violate Apple’s rules (and break Steve’s heart) to get the emulator on your device, but once you do you’ll be able to run Palm OS applications (compatible up to version 5.2), with support for native ARM apps, Audio recording and playback, virtual memory cards, and TCP/IP connectivity, amongst other features. If you’ve been hanging on to a Treo or other discontinued Palm product due to your sick dependency on a single program (or set of programs), here’s your chance to break free. You’ll also be breaking free of $49.99, which is what the folks at StyleTap are requesting for this pleasure, and keep in mind that if you upgrade using one of Apple’s official number bumps, you’re out of luck with your jailbroken software. Still, we find the existence of this to be totally badical, so hit the read link and bone up on your next purchase.
