Classic Will Be Able to HotSync With Conduits Right Into The Palm Pre
The Palm Pre is a webOS device which is designed for online services, such Google Mail and Google Adresses as well as social networking sites like facebook, ready for being connected to twitter and read the Wikipedia online. Thus, the device is totally dependant to the data within the cloud.
One big community request was to run legacy PalmOS 5 applications under webOS, which motionApps made possible with the PalmOS5 emulator called "Classic". Literally thousands of PalmOS5 applications are available and the transition from the beloved PalmOS5 devices to a state-of-the-art Palm Pre has now become easier than expected.
The early releases of Classic where able to run legacy applications, but a hotsync was not possible and applications needed to be installed via "card mode", which does not work for the JVM - for instance.
Now, motionaApps announced to be working on and finally have a quite stable version of a hotsync between desktop PC and Classic on the Palm Pre. In addition, hotsync conduits should be able to run as well, they say, and it also supports synchronisation by cable as well as wireless via WLAN or Bluetooth. On top of it all, the new hotsync features also comes with MS Outlook conduits, which make migration of your data to the Palm Pre even more easy - without the cloud.
