Status of StyleTap iPhone Experimental Version
Our recent posting of a video showing an experimental version of StyleTap running on an iPod Touch has been viewed over 700,000 times and generated a great deal of feedback and interest in a version of StyleTap for the Apple iPhone. We were particularly struck by the number of people who commented that the ability to run their Palm applications would definitely make them consider purchasing an iPhone.
Apple subsequently released their much-anticipated Software Development Kit (SDK), which answered some questions but also introduced some potential legal roadblocks which could impede our efforts to make a StyleTap iPhone/iPod Touch version available through official Apple channels. We are continuing to make good technical progress with the iPhone "experimental" version and are exploring various ways to bring it to market. We encourage everyone interested in seeing a version of StyleTap for the iPhone to let Apple know of your interest by sending feedback at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

StyleTap has announced a version of StyleTap (officially called "StyleTap CrossPlatform for Symbian OS") for smartphones running the
Symbian OS. This new version is planned for release in the first quarter of 2008.
StyleTap CrossPlatform for Symbian OS will support Symbian smartphones based on UIQ 3 and S60 3rd Edition, which includes smartphone models from Nokia, Sony Ericsson and Motorola.
See the
news release for the full details.
Although the product is planned for release early in 2008, the software is working now in "alpha" mode – most of the APIs are working, most applications are running well, and we're confident that the remaining technical work is all doable. Although it is our usual practice to issue announcements only when the release is available, we chose to announce this release in London at the Symbian Smartphone Show, where we have enjoyed the support and encouragement from many of the folks at Symbian and UIQ.
We also know, based on the constant queries about support for Symbian devices that come to us via email, that there is a great deal of interest out there in the community. For all you Symbian smartphone users: please do
not send us emails asking to be a beta tester just yet – stay tuned to this blog and when we're ready to go, we'll tell you about it here.
Cheers,
The StyleTap Team
