If you\'re programming for Palm some kind of emulator is the easiest way to test a code, so you dont need to syncronize your handheld with PC and make hard resets on every failure.
You can do that, but it has to be compiled to do that. Ie you cannot take any zaurus binary and run it on an intel x86 platform.
You can take the source and compile it on a linux x86 platform and run it in the framebuffer emulator, but like I say this is not an easy task for a first time user. I don\'t know your skillset, but this is probably not worth pursueing just to see what the zaurus software is like.
If you are asking this because you intend to develop applications on the zaurus then it is perfectly possible (even I have managed to do this) but you need a good knowledge of C/C++ and a linux box and the source code to the application you want to run.
There is no binary zaurus emulator that I am aware of, you need the source and the knowledge to compile it to do this.
In fact, as you say this is the preferred way of developing an application for the very reasons you mention above, but you compile it on the pc for x86 architecure to test it, and then cross/compile it for the arm architecture to test it on the zaurus.
I live on a island.
I live on an island too, but I guess that my island is bigger than yours. Sorry that is probably a cheap shot and wasn\'t meant to offend:D
What are your programming/linux/c/c++ skills like? if they are good then you can do this easily (I don\'t want to put you off) but if they are non existant then you can still do it, but there will be a very steep learning curve to overcome first.
I hope this clarifies the issue somewhat.
