Classic Apps

[bulls96]

and, palm could still bundle the classic app, right?
just like the old days they bundled DocToGo

I strongly doubt it will come pre-installed.

I heard at 1src's last podcast that the CLASSIC runs Garnet 5.2.4 or something, the version of Garnet that ran on the Tungsten C... Not the current 5.4 that runs on the Centros and Treo 755p/680.

I hope this doesnt become an issue.

maybe there is a update?
according to this Q&A by MotionApps:

Classic looks more like a treo/centro to me.

plus, based on the demo video, there were "calendar" and "contacts" icons in the launcher, rather than those "datebook" and "address" icons which we shall see on a Tungsten C. So I think that the Classic runs a PalmOS at least newer than Garnet 5.2.4.

The classic emulator looks great and is a welcome sight for longtime palmOS users. The app that I'm most worried about losing when switching from my treo to the Pre is Slingplayer Mobile. I love my slingbox, but sling is pathetically slow developing for new platforms and I read webOS would only be considered after a mobile client for android was developed. The mobilty apps faq suggests that apps in classic will have access to the internet but not much else (no gps, bluetooth, etc). I'm hoping since the slingplayer client only needs internet access that it will work. Then ya really don't need to wait for a real webOS client.

Since webOS seems to be oriented towards media, whether it be online or not, I bet Sling Media will seriously consider developing an app for it.
