Well, this thread is about Java support and you are asking for a specific PalmOS application to be ported to Maemo. I assume it is not written in Java, so Java support is not going to help you there.

I get the impression that such usage has never crossed the minds in the N900 group. Note that while most iPhone users do not use all these apps, they are available for the iPhone because they are ESSENTIAL for some of us.
As I understand, the applications you are talking about all came from third parties, i.e. not from Palm itself. So, it is probably wrong to assume that Maemo Devices (group inside Nokia that works on Maemo) is supposed to provide you with them for free. On the other hand, if you and a thousand or two other users are willing to pay for such applications, somebody will make them for Maemo sooner or later. Before that happens, you are welcome to check the default PIM and Maps apps that come with N900.
