Softick updates Audio Gateway for Palm

Softick has announced the release of version 1.20 of their Auido Gateway software for Palm handhelds, reports PalmInfocenter.

The software allows any Bluetooth-enabled Palm OS device to link up to a pair of Bluetooth headphones and listen to any audio played by the handset, from music players to games to audio books. Version 1.20 adds support for AVRCP connections and fast forward and rewind buttons on some headsets, and fixes some problems with mono sound as well as other minor bug fixes.

The update is free for all registered users.

Amphibi Software on Palm and iPhone

I have really suprised to read this news from some of online magazines. Yes, a company named StyleTap has a demo of Palm applications being run on an iPod Touch, reports PDAStreet.

The company has long offered software to run Palm apps on Windows Mobile devices, and has plans to offer the same functionality for Symbian phones. Now a video has appeared on their website showing off some Palm apps being run on an iPod Touch. The demo is just that, a demo, and is not indicative of any plans to release the software, as they explicitly warn:

This is an EXPERIMENTAL version – it is NOT a product, nor is its presence here a commitment of any kind, express or implied, that StyleTap Inc. will ever release an official version of StyleTap CrossPlatform for Apple iPhone or iPod Touch.

Still, there is a definite possibility of seeing something like this if Apple ever gets around to releasing the iPhone SDK.
