Very smooth. They did a great job. I'm assuming it will be like Parallels and we'll be seeing more and more out of it in the future. Especially with possible (hopefully) Synergy integration.

I wonder if you can place calls from it if you're feeling homesick for your Treo

[Vazguard]

While I do see the possible annoyance with the present lack of Synergy connection with the emulater (for contacts and such), I understand that Palm doesn't want people to revert back to Palm OS being the primary OS on their devices. Must've taken a lot of thought to make that decision.

I had a strong feeling (conviction) that Palm would ensure PalmOS emulation right out of the gate...and it looks as if I was correct. This is great news, as now Palm adherents such as myself can have the best of both worlds: the Swiss-army knife-like functionality of the old OS and the glitz, beauty and dazzle of the Pre.

Palm, you have, like the Norse god Baldar, come back from the gates of Death and might just be poised to become relevant once again. Maybe...we'll wait and see.

How much is the Pre going to be, I wonder?

I think it was smart for them to create this application. I def agree with everyone comments.. Especially for the simple fact that some applications are just so expensive and until they don't get developed by the company who owns them this will suffice.

@Vazguard,

I am actually happy that they wont, currently, allow you to not sync with the classic emulator contacts... I love Palm Os, But i am excited to play with the new Os and i think if i had the opportunity to use old contacts and such other features i might get accustom to that. It will give people the opportunity to become accustom to the WebOs and slowly stay away from the Palm Os until the desireable applications are develop for the new OS

Precisely my dear Feznando. Precisely.
