CNET Editors' note: Palm OS Emulator does not include ROM images: it is essentially like a computer without an operating system.
Publisher's Description
From Palm:
The Palm OS Emulator is a program based on the Copilot app that emulates the hardware of the various models of Palm-powered handhelds, making it a valuable tool for writing, testing, and debugging applications. Palm has taken the original Copilot app and enhanced it with new features, debugging support, and support for more recent ROMs (the source code is still available). With this program, you can create "virtual" handheld devices on your PC and develop Palm apps with ease. Emulated devices can be loaded with new ROMs, so you can test your application with virtual devices, including different devices than you own, foreign language ROMs, and debug-enabled ROMs for extra error checking and debugging features. You can also download skins for this program that will cosmetically emulate device-specific images, making it even easier to develop software for your favorite handheld device running the Palm OS.What's new in this version:
- Added m125, m130, m515, and i705 support. NOTE: at the time of this writing, skins for these devices are not available. There is no estimated date for when they will be available.
- (Mac) Added TRGpro and HandEra 330 support. [Scott Gruby]
- Allow access to the following UI data structures in support of PalmOSGlue that comes with SDK 4.0 Update 1: a. read/write access to ControlType.attr for CtlGlueNewSliderControl and CtlGlueSetLeftAnchor b. read access to ListType.itemsText for ... See all new features

"usable if you are smart. 2 bad it is no longer on here"
Version: Palm OS Emulator 3.5
Pros
It is an emulator folks, it is designed to mimic a Palm, not interact with one. Who cares about USB support, I used it for testing how website look on a Palm and it worked fine.
Cons
I came back to get it and it is no longer here. The link you give does nothing at all:

Works great, make sure to get the "Platform41_m505_enUS.rom" file, I googled it and was able to download it.

"Don't use it if ur connection between the pc and ur palm is something else other that a serial port"
Version: Palm OS Emulator 3.5
Summary
it really sucks, if ur palm is connected to the pc by the usb port, it won't work. this program only supports the serial port connection. i hope that this company could upgrade this product to support usb connections.

"Does NOT support USB connection."
Version: Palm OS Emulator 3.5
Summary
I had a palm IIIe before which connected through COM1. Palm OS Emulator was fine then. Then, 2 years later, I got a Sony Clie PEG-SJ30. I have two problems. (1) Only connects to palm device via COM1, and I only have a USB connection for my Sony. (2) The Sony Clie, or Palm OS 4 is not available on the Emulator. I only recommend if you can connect to COM1, then this would work. If not, then forget it.
