It's interesting that they've used VirtualBox to run the emulator.

Really clever.



"The Palm Emulator is built on VirtualBox, virtual machine software that you can download free from Sun Microsystems." Shouldn't that be Oracle?


From wikipedia:

"On April 20, 2009, Sun and Oracle Corporation announced that they entered into a definitive agreement under which Oracle will acquire Sun for $7.4 billion. The deal is still pending, with no date yet given for its completion."

Also, the Sun name probably won't go away for quite some time.


Why would they want to get rid of a brand name like Sun?

I know a lot of people who love Sun. I can't name five that would tolerate Oracle if they had an alternative.


is it? the android sdk emulator is based on qemu.
