Yahoo News just unveiled that RIM has just announced a piece of software that allows BB emulation. That’s right, make your WM device a CrackBerry. Not just adding BlackBerry Connect but the whole 9 yards; check this out:

The application replaces the Windows layout and icons on the display with the look of the BlackBerry interface, customized to the specific buttons and screen size of that device. A non-BlackBerry device would then be able to connect with BlackBerry servers for e-mail, calendar, address book and other applications written for the platform by RIM and third-party developers.

A user would be able to toggle back and forth between the two platforms if they want, for example, to use the Windows Media Player to listen to music.

Also, news has it that more platforms will be supported. Why is this relevant to Palm? Well because a lot of people are saying that this is exactly what is being brewed in a secret lab somewhere. It’s a shame that a 3rd party developer actually came up with a Palm OS 5 aka Garnet emulator for WM5 instead of Palm themselves. I’m guessing that the actual OS developers would be the most ideal team to develop an emulator.
