MotionApps Classic Palm OS Emulator Review

Brighthand has published a full review of MotionApps Classic, the intriguing app that emulates the old Palm OS on the new Palm Pre. Although the Pre has almost nothing in common (technically, at least) with oldschool Palm devices, the company still has plenty of long-time admirers – not to mention plenty who have large Palm OS software collection they are not ready to part with.

As a result, Classic seems like the best of both worlds. On the one hand you get to keep classic Palm apps like HanDBase; on the other you get to use the feature of a modern, internet-aware smartphone.

I think of MotionApps Classic as a transitional aid. It will help long-time Palm OS users switch to the webOS, and help Palm, Inc. get the webOS off the ground.

What it’s not going to do is turn a Palm Pre into a Treo.
