We share the concerns of many of the people who have posted comments in this thread -- and we have developed software that may influence the way this situation plays out. For those of you who haven't heard of us, StyleTap Platform for Windows Mobile lets you run Palm OS (R) applications on a Pocket PC.

A preview version of StyleTap Platform is available now. It runs both Garnet and older Palm OS apps. Response from users has been tremendous.

We offer a very attractive migration path for Palm users who choose, for whatever reason, to move to the Windows platform -- and an important new market opportunity for the hundreds of thousands of Palm OS developers.

In fact, we plan to offer future versions of StyleTap Platform on other non-Windows operating systems as well. And while maintaining backward compatibility with the old APIs, we will allow new applications, if they choose, to take advantage of more advanced features of the underlying OS.

StyleTap Inc. wants to see this community of users, applications and developers grow and flourish. Even users of Palm OS (R) devices will benefit from this. We invite users, developers and device manufacturers to work with us to make it happen.
