Developers will be able to test their applications using a simulator as part of a new toolkit from the Palm subsidiary

Palm subsidiary PalmSource has introduced a new program to help software developers create applications for its upcoming operating system. PalmSource is offering a kit that includes a Palm OS 5 simulator so developers can test their applications on the operating system.

PalmSource is also introducing the Palm Powered Compatible Solution logo, which can be applied to applications that pass compliancy tests with Palm OS 4 and 5. The test will be administered by a third party and requires a fee. The fee and availability of the test will be announced early this summer with the launch of Palm OS 5. The logo is meant to help consumers identify software that meets compatibility standards.
