Please log in for more thread options What is true is sometimes you can load a PPC app on a Smartphone, but as
Ilya pointed out, you don't have a touch screen which the programmer likely
assumed you had when creating the application. I have had some limited luck
with smartphone apps loaded on a PPC. The catch there is that you don't have
the numeric keyboard assumed by smartphone programmers. If your PPC has a
keyboard though you can often get around that.
The issue at this time is much like trying to run windows without a mouse.
Many programs/programmers consider this option and provide keyboard
shortcuts, but often you run into stuff you just need to click. Same with a
PPC app on a smartphone, you would quickly find something you need to tap.
