This isn’t exactly the “pure mobile news,” but it’s interesting nevertheless. The reason is that we’re not seeing that many companies switching from mobile to desktop — usually it’s the other way round.
Anyway, Handcase — the Brazilian company behind quite a few applications and games for various platforms, most notably Palm OS — has launched its games for PC.
However, they haven’t developed games from the scratch. Rather they decided to turn their Palm OS titles into ROM files that will run on the Palm emulator, which is free to download. So in order to play Handcase’s games and/or use their apps, you’ll need to run the emulator first and then start the game/app you want.
It may sound complicated, but honestly it isn’t. There’s a special page on Handcase’s website with more information you should visit to get additional details and start enjoying the “good ol’” Palm OS titles on your desktop/laptop computer.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do.
In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
