Run Palm applications on your Windows Mobile Smartphone

StyleTap has released a beta version of StyleTap for Windows Mobile Smartphones. StyleTap is a program that lets you run Palm programs on Windows Mobile devices, but up until now, it was only available for Pocket PC users. You might remember that we covered the PocketPC version back in November.

Because Smartphones lack touchscreen displays, many Pocket PC programs don't run properly on devices like the T-Mobile Dash or the Samsung Blackjack. Styletap greatly expands the number of applications you can run on a Smartphone, by letting you run thousands of Palm programs, even those that require a touchscreen. StyleTap includes a display cursor that you can control with your 5-way navigational button as if you were using a stylus. It won't be as precise as using a stylus or a mouse, but it should work in a pinch.

The preview is designed for Smartphones running Windows Mobile 5.0. There's a 14 day free trial available, and you can also buy the preview for $50 and qualify for a free upgrade when the full version is released.
