ACCESS has announced that the brand new beta version of their Garnet Virtual Machine is now available for Nokia Internet Tablets. Released a year ago, Garnet VM allows running of Palm OS apps on the Internet Tablet devices — Nokia 770, N800 and N810 — hence drastically expanding the list of available for the Maemo platform (through Garnet emulator, but that still counts, I guess).

As for the latest update, ACCESS said that several bugs have been fixed in Garnet VM core components as well as in Garnet PIM applications. The Beta 3 also grows the already big list of compatible applications with two new supported games: Billard 5.0 by Megasoft2000, and Toxic Balls by Beiks LLC…
