35 fresh screenshots of Classic 26

The primary question surrounding the development of Classic - the Palm OS emulator for upcoming webOS devices - has always been, “But will it run X?”, X being your favorite must-have won’t-upgrade-without-it Palm OS application. While we’ve heard a lot about how well Classic runs, we haven’t heard a whole lot about what it will run. The makers of Classic, Motion Apps, have chimed in with an expanded screenshot gallery on their website that covers the following applications (a handful of which we’ve seen already):

4Cast, Agendus, AgExpert, Astraware Sodoku, Astraware Solitaire, Bejeweled 2, Date Wheel, DateBk, Diet, eReader, Facebook, Google Maps, GTS Racing, Handy Shopper, iSilo, Kinoma Player, OnTime RX, Oxford Dictionary, PalmaryClock Wireless, Pocket Quicken, Pocket Tunes, Resco Backup, Resco Explorer, Sales Trakker, Splash ID, Splash Money, Splash Photo, Splash Shopper, TB Tx, Tide Tool, TouchLauncher, Trip Boss, Warfare Inc, Weather, and Zuma

Also, a reminder: PreCentral is giving away ten copies of Classic - all you have to do to be entered is head over to this thread and tell us what your favorite Palm OS application!

Thanks to Darth Pooh, mahootzki and everybody else who sent this in!

Very cool! Looks like a powerful emulator. Imagine the possibility of new apps without using emulator.

Yes, we can drag and drop the .pfc files but with the apps above, how do we "sync" the data into the programs???'

Well, copy the file to the SD card. As with the .prc.

Hasn't this already been stated several times...?

Whatever you think to know or believe...
I don't care If you will not be able to use these apps anymore.

Then why bother commenting?

Without Pocket Quicken the Pre is essentially useless to me. It was the reason I bought my first Palm Pro in early '97, though the app I first used was Qmate.

It IS possible to use Pocket Quicken only on the Palm, without syncing to a Desktop - BUT - that takes away a lot of the power and security of it. I guess you would just have to hope that the magical "cloud" backs up all your Quicken databases immediately, otherwise your financial tracking is up for grabs depending on the fate of your phone.
