Where can you get this emulator?

I'd love to see something showing the alarm, and or multiple alarms. I travel a lot, so it will be my portable clock,

Pre will not come with an alarm built into the ROM but I believe a third party one is already available.

[LichiMan]

I was wondering about this too. I use the alarm every day to wake up :) Also, it would be nice to have different clocks for different countries.

Hope someone can develop this soon.

I know this is an emulator based to show us the software, but I was wondering if anyone knew what the battery life on the Pre will be? Will it be better than the iPhone? I'm going back and forth between getting the new iPhone or the Pre.

One video i watched said they dont have the exact numbers but it is a pretty good battery life. Im pre all the way if u want all the apps get and iphone but i have an ipod touch for that and i love the pre

Do you really need to flick each page off the top to switch between preference apps? That could get irritating when you first set up the phone. Less of an issue afterwards though.

[mxxcon]

you flick it off the top if you want to CLOSE that app. he could've just as easily left it running in the background.

So is the DEFAULT setting for the "Background Data Collection" definitely "OFF".... I would hope that Palm would make giving your personal information to Google for FREE an OPT-IN setup....too many people who buy a Pre may never look at this menu/setting so the default setting is really important.

Thanks for sharing, much appreciated!

It would be so amazing if the actual phone booted up as fast as the emulator did.

[PalmPreForumDotOrg]

To be honest it very well might. I haven't investigated much into this emulator but I would assume the hardware specs are probably set at what the device would actually be. It could very well boot that quickly.

Virtualbox is an x86 emulator, and you can actually run Windows or Linux at (up to) 90% of the speed of your desktop. That's faster than Android's emulator, which runs slower than the real hardware.
