And just like that, it looks like Google has gone on the defensive against emulator apps in the Android Market and as of now there have been several more that have been removed. The latest emulator apps were all from developer yongzh and are the ones that most if not all have been using (or more »

CTIA seems to have proven a busy time for Palm in regards to the Pre. Unfortunately, we still have not seen a release date or official price, however Palm has unveiled some more information.

To begin with, they have released a second Palm Pre video demonstration called “This Weekend” which highlights items such as being able to play Pandora in the background. Additionally, the video also shows other apps such as Fandango as well as other multitasking goodies.

In addition to the video, Palm has also begun taking applications for developer access to the Mojo SDK as part of an “early access program.” As of now, the developers that will be approved are limited and will have to be approved directly by Palm. The general availability for the Mojo SDK is expected “later this year.”

Finally, Palm has also announced the release of a PalmOS emulator for the Pre called Classic. While all the details were not released, Classic has been created by MotionApps and is expected to allow Palm Pre users to run some classic PalmOS based apps. Of course, this sounds more like a temporary solution, because Classic will not be able to use much of the webOS functionality that will make the Pre special. According to the description from Palm, it sounds like it will be a good app for current Palm users who switch to the Pre. That way they can move over and not lose any of the current favorite apps while waiting for an updated version for the Pre.

Now, if we could just see something a little more specific for a release date aside from the first half of 2009.

If you’re like me, you probably have an old PC (or two) laying around. It’s a box you think you’ll do something with. Maybe you’ll take the plunge and put that PC in a new case like a toaster or something. Perhaps you are unsatisfied by using that large tower as a side table. Here’s a round up of 5 things you can do with an old PC.

For those of you who ordered your G1 and just can’t wait for it to get here, you can get your G1 fix right now (sort of). A new site, launched by T-Mobile, offers a G1 emulator (pictured) so you can play around and get the feel for it ahead of time.

The site offers a full 360 degree view of the phone, visual instruction guides so you know what you’re doing, and, of course, the emulator itself. Now, I’ve got to say, I tried this and if I wasn’t sure what to think of the G1. I just don’t know if this would sway me into buying it. It’s not that I think the G1 might not be a great phone, but because the emulator, itself, is pretty buggy and several features don’t work right.
