PalmSource, Inc. introduced its Fast ARM Solutions Toolkit (FAST). FAST provides developers with an easier and faster path toward creating ARM native applications for Palm OS 5 that will be compatible with future versions of the operating system. FAST will enable developers to expand the range and quality of applications they create for compute-intensive environments. Multimedia, 3D games, security, voice over IP, scientific applications, and digital signal processing are just a few examples of the types of applications that will benefit substantially from this improvement.
