RE: Screenshots for Palm OS PDAs?

["Zvi Gilbert" <zgilbert -at- aw -dot- sgi -dot- com>]

A different and possibly better way is to run a Palm 
Emulation tool on your PC and screenshot that. That's the way 
we did it when I worked on a bunch of mobile internet tools, 
and had to produce screenshots for Blackberrys, Palms, 
internet-connected cell-phones, etc. This also means that you 
need not have all those devices, just the emulator.

Emulation is your friend.

For Palm, the developer's toolkit for that product is likely 
to have emulators included. You can download that directly 
from Palm. A quick link search reveals:
