Introduction

I have created this page as a work in progress for people like me who only have the emulator to develop on.

Below is a list of differences between the Pre and the SDK emulator.


Differences


Applications

Messaging does not work on the SDK emulator. (I will be releasing a fix to this very shortly)


IPK Installation

The contents of /var/tmp is deleted after IPK installation on the Palm Pre only. Contents is kept on the emulator.


File System

File system is read only on the Palm Pre. File system is read/write on the SDK emulator.


Architecture

Palm Pre architecture is armv7. SDK Emulator architecture is i686.
