We have just managed to get a hold of Gregory Sokoloff from StyleTap(the guys behind the Palm OS emulator for PocketPC) at the Symbian Smartphone Show. Greg brought along a m600i and demoed us the current state of StyleTap on the machine:
0a StyleTap for UIQ and Series 60 spotted in the wild

The first demo application we were shown was Bike or Die, a classic Palm OS action game. It ran perfectly – like it would on a regular Palm OS device:

68k testing was performed with Benchmark 2.0 for Palm OS. The m600i scored 269%:

Last but not least, here is a video of the M600i running BikeOrDie:

BTW – Series 60 support will be accomplished via a “virtual mouse” like the one found in various web browsers for the platform.

Overall, this is all we know as of now. However, rest assured that we will keep you posted as soon as we hear anything new!

  1. Wow! This I didn’t see coming!

  2. I want it for my E65 !

  3. Too bad it doesn’t work the other way around. I love my treo for it’s form factor and I haven’t found any symbian handsets that can quite cut it for me in terms of layout hardware and supported networks. But I like the OS a lot.

    Too bad…

  4. Wow they ported that very fast…

    what if they made a port for Garux?

  5. Hi,
    as said – thats all I know as of now. But more news is coming up soon!

    Best regards
