StyleTap has released a proof of concept for a Palm emulator. If this happens, one of my last reasons not to get an iPhone will be gone. I've been an avid Palm user for years and have a huge investment in software, eBooks, etc. Until I have a way to port them, I'll keep using my Treo (or Centro?).

Microsoft has now released documentation for the Office binary formats (.doc, .xls, .ppt) in addition to kicking off the project for an open source binary to Open XML converter (.doc to .docx)   The threw in WMF for good measure.

The translator is great for anyone going to Open XML or those who want to work on XML-based documents.  It’s also cool to see what’s actually in the binary file format.
