where can i get the clie NX skin for my sony os5 simulator? and BTW - what's the difference between a palm "emulator" and a palm "simulator"?

The "emulator" emulates every instruction that the PDA would execute. However, the emulator doesn't do ARM code yet, so the simulator was created. The simulator still emulates emulates every 68k mode instruction, but all the system calls, which are in ARM code, are written in the native i386 code, and all ARMlets must be compiled as DLLs.

Am I making any sense on this? Basically, the simulator only emulates the PACE environment, for everything outside of that, it relies on native (platorm the simulator is running on, not native ARM) code.

are there "skins" for the simulator? i have it and it works great - but it would be nice to have it look like my NX :D

so how do you test your development on os5 devices? the POSE doesn't support them yet and as far as i know only the simulators do... or am i missing the os5 POSE?
