- What applications run on StyleTap?
There are literally thousands of StyleTap-compatible applications available, which makes it virtually impossible to keep an up-to-date list of applications.
In general, as long as the application doesn’t use conduits (uses HotSync to synchronize information back to your desktop), use “hacks” (uses the HackMaster API) and doesn’t want to directly manipulate the Palm hardware registers, then they will likely run fine under StyleTap.
The best way to find out if your favorite application will run under StyleTap is to download the trial version and try it!

- How do I install Palm applications onto my Windows device?
If you installed StyleTap using a Windows desktop PC, then a program called StyleTap Application Installer was also installed on the Windows machine. It installs Palm .prc/.pdb files into StyleTap on the device, using ActiveSync: You put the Windows Mobile device in the cradle, run StyleTap Application Installer, and it copies the files into the correct location for StyleTap.
[Watch a Flash movie that shows you how to install Palm apps into StyleTap.]
- How do I install Palm applications from a Mac or Linux or stand alone?
To recognize a Palm application, StyleTap needs to find the .prc/.pdb files in its database directory, which by default is \Program Files\StyleTap\db if you installed StyleTap into main memory.
You can copy the Palm files from a memory card, download or copy them using the network if you have connectivity, or beaming them to your Windows Mobile device from your old Palm device.
- Can I change the speed of the StyleTap virtual cursor on my smartphone?
Yes, see the readme.txt file that came with your download for details.

We don't know yet. Until the device actually ships and we get to see how it works and what APIs are available, we won't know what is really possible.
