Head on over to MotionApps right now, and check out their new gallery showcasing 35 different Palm OS apps running on the webOS. Nothing mind blowing, but worth checking out.
Palm demoed the MotionApps's Classic PalmOS emulator at CTIA today. It works like any other WebOS apps, a live card. So you can switch between WebOS and PalmOS with a simple swipe. It comes with the default set of PalmOS apps like World Clock, and Epocrates. As long as your Palm Pre is licensed. App updates will be available over the air.
One of the most innovative apps is Epocrates. Epocrates is widely used in the medical profession for: proper diagnosing, drug information, tables/calculations, drug interactions, formulating information. Epocrates can also be useful for the average Joe, to easily tell you the proper dosage for adults and children. How useful would it be to be able to use your Palm Pre and in a matter of moments pull up the proper dosage of Motrin for your sick child or spouse. From a parents point of view this would be great information to have on hand at any time necessary. On a personal level - I know that there has been more than one time that I needed to check the dosage on an over the counter medication for my sick child.
Through Classic the app should run approximately twice as quick on the Palm Pre opposed to on the Treo 700p. There are some possible adjustments you may have to do, you can contact Palm to see what possible adjustments that would need to be made.
