ROFL ... Potter fan.

Personally, an emulator is a "poor" substitute for the real thing. However, in THIS case I LOVE this emulator. It was a bit wonky in the last release I tested, but you k now. It's still in beta. Got to expect issues like that. I fully applaud them for being able to do this.

Besides, I have a zodiac 2 and t3 sitting around. The zod2 is the only with power charging it, as I keep it around with ebooks for the wife when she heads out on military duty. But my t3 has a severe digitizer issue. This application allows me to still use my favorite applications that I legally purchased.

One last note. If Palm WERE to come out with an actually viable and STABLE and well-designed device, then I'll switch back. However, the LD was a joke (nice attempt thought, looked great on paper, but performance sucks!), the T5 is crap.

I want something STRONGER. Military. Hello. Zodiac 2 is great for this, but it's the wrong form factor (for me. The Wife loves it, as she's double jointed and apparently doesn't mind the landscape first). I need something DURABLE (not the T5), great screen (pictures and movies, not to mention e-books), and horsepower (I run databases on my ahndhelds, to keep track of things, not to mention finance computations and tracking!).

So far, I no longer see Palm as being able to provide for my needs. Although, if they can stick to the "Zen of Palm", and get back to actually delivering handhelds that people want, PPC will have to seriously work again to keep me. Their upcoming WM2005 isn't as thrilling as Microsoft would have you believe.
