I just recently purchased a Droidx, for the last 5 years I was content with a Standard cell phone and a Dell Axim 51v, before that it was a Standard cell phone and Palm Pilot.

When I switched from Palm to PPC I suffered with what to do with the all the Apps and Games I had for the Palm... fortunatly I found a Palm emulator to run on my PPC.

Now that I Moved onto the Droidx I find myself back to "what do I do with all the PPC Apps I had for my Dell Axim 51v"

I've done repeated searches on a PPC emulator for Android, but all I get is the reverse.... running Android on PPC's. While this may be of interest to some I'm quite happy with the Droidx and as much as I loved my PPC I don't miss lugging around 2 devices.

Unless there is some source on the internet that has a deadline for the future of the Android OS I would think people would be more interested in porting the apps from PPC to Android.

Maybe I missed it but is there anybody out there working on this?

I don't think it you're going to have much luck. I was also a Palm user and moved to an Axim 51v and I was extremely lucky that I could use my Palm apps on the Axim.

I've purchased a lot of software for WM (and those weren't cheap!) but I've learned to let them go. The one I miss having most is Agendus, since I was also using it back in the Palm days and I gathered years of information on it.
