Creatonia, a RPG game for Pocket PC and Palm touchscreen devices is now free to download and play. Featuring 28 characters in 13 different classes, the game promises over 150 world areas, 400 item types and 150 skills, all in the palm of your hand. The game hasn’t seen much update since August 2006, but now you have nothing to lose as it is free.
This game supports both VGA and 320×280 resolution Pocket PCs.
You can now run Palm OS Garnet VM on N-series tablets (such as N770, N800 and the upcoming N810) by using Garnet Virtual Machine Software. The best news is the virtualization software is available for free: it is still in the beta stage right now, but Access is promising it will remain free when the final version hits the streets at the end of this year.

Whether you like Microsoft’s Windows Mobile OS or not, you have to admit that Microsoft is constantly trying to improve it. In its 6th version already, Windows Mobile is set to deliver a great amount of features, compatibility with growing list of applications and even diverse devices for it to run on.
What happened to Palm? It used to be the leader in the market (when PDAs were called Palm Pilots)… now their OS is sadly lagging behind, well, everyone. Here comes the news from the CEO himself that the next generation Linux-based Palm OS will be released at the end of next calendar year. Which basically means end of 2008. By then, I’m sure Windows Mobile will hit 7 (or at least 6 with host of improvements), Apple will continue to refine its iPhone and OS X, RIM’s Blackberries will continue to dominate push-email and Palm will increasingly rely on Windows Mobile to sell its devices. Which begs the question, why bother developping an OS?
