Not really. There was Palm emulator in development (www.kodeness.com), but it never left beta and is no longer being developed - although it may appear in the future from an unknown third party...

As Jason said... there was a beta, but no more. My suggestion: leave the world of Palm behind and dive head first into the PocketPC - you will be glad you switched.

If there's a particular app you liked on the Palm that you can't find a good equivalent for on Pocket PC you could always mention it and see if anyone will write it for Pocket PC.

I'm sorry, but that is the most arrogant advice I've heard in a while. I've never even used a Palm, but I can understand that they have some features that people like.

Are you seriously claiming that there are no worthwhile applications on the Palm that aren't also on the Pocket PC?

Kati42 had the right idea -- if there are specific applications on the Palm platform that someone wants on the Pocket PC, this is a great place to ask about them.

The excellent Palm Software that I can't find equivalent Pocket PC replacements are Tide Tool to give tide times in UK, and the Password Store for the Palm from Stand Alone ..... unless you know better...<gg>

I believe eWallet does the password store thing, although on another thread I'm asking about alternatives. That is, unless I was really tired last night and didn't press "Submit".

Code Wallet looks pretty good as well. I'm doing the trial of both eWallet and Code Wallet. Leaning towards Code Wallet since more info can be stored on each "card"

Let me know what you think. I used "Strip" on the Palm. Adequate, but not heavy on features. Free, though.

I'll need a program like that, and I don't have my Pocket PC yet so can't do the trial for another couple weeks...

On the Palm I used Splash ID Excellent program and part of teh SplashWallet set. All eexcellent programs. If I could find suitable replacements ffor all four it would be great.

So far I found uitable replacements for two of teh four

Splash Money -- Pocket Money (I use Money 2003 already so it's great)
Splash ID -- Code Waller or eWallet still testing both
Splash Photo -- need suggestions
Splash Shopper -- need suggestions
