I started using the O2 about two years ago but realized that I couldn't let go of my Palm because of a program (MathPad). Does anybody know how to port this program to the O2 so I don't have to always bring 2 pda's with me (O2 and palm)? OR is anybody familiar with a similar program on the pocket pc OS. A short description of the MathPad below.

MathPad is a tool for solving and storing mathematical equations in standard algebraic syntax. It works just like the standard MemoPad app, except that if you write down an equation and tap the Solve button, it computes the answer and fills it in for you. These equations can be simple math expressions like "2+2=", or algebraic expressions using variables such as "sqrt(x+4) / acos(0.7) = y**3". MathPad provides operators for exponentiation, bitwise AND, OR, NOT, and XOR, bit shifts, integer or modulo division, comparisons, and Boolean logic. Functions for trigonometry (including inverse and hyperbolics), logarithms, and date manipulation are also provided. MathLib is required for use of the trigonometric functions, but all other features work on any Pilot-compatible PDA, running any OS version

if you by port mean recompiling then that very much depend on using what tool the application was made

if you just want to run the program ...

There are a couple of palm emulators for pocketpc as well.
Some work very well.

Thanks Rudegar for the link. I found the article quite interesting. Wish they had some sort of trial version for the software. Getting the ROM seem quite tricky. I also noticed that it was dated 2001... any idea on where it is now?


Thanks too Vijay,
Would you have a specific emulator you can recommend? I tried it out when I first got the O2 but it never ran and I gave up on the emulator.
