You can probably do that using palm emulation which is already available. But I don't think any emulation will support DRM. I'd be happy to be contradicted on this!

The palm emulation certainly doesn't - it crashes the emulator as soon as I try to open an encrypted file. In general, it should be down to the emulator though - there's no hardware involved for DRM on most of these systems, so there's no reason it couldn't be done.

I'd rather see time invested in Maemo versions of quality apps ;)

[SUGGESTION] Emulator for Symbian Apps
 
Watching the news about VMware and Android running on N900 I was wondering if could be possible to come up with an emulator to run Symbian Apps atop Maemo 5...

It seem like a crazy idea and I don't know if it is feasible since I am not a developer and new as a Maemo user. I am sure that it would not be a simple work and also probably wouldn't work for heavy consuming apps, but for sure it would be a solution pretty useful to instantly add lots of new apps to Maemo platform. :cool:

Does anyone know about techincal limitations in the HW or OS to implement such emulation?

It would be good for running TomTom on it though :)

ha....u r joking rite.....i have both N97 as well as N900....comparing the two is an insult to N900...maemo 5 is absolutely amazing....apart from the looks they are two completely different stuff....N97 is a phone more like....N900 is more like a mini computer...

Re: symbian os ON Maemo... Any appourtonity!
 
Hey guys, Im new here, and to the whole maemo OS in general, Ive been a symbian nokia fan for soo long, i finally decided to try the n900, the fact that dell had a great price helped me make this decision lol.

Anyways I was wondering the exact same thing, there are soo many nice apps for symbian but im scared I wont be able to find them on maemo. Does anyone know if there are muslim devs out there that can come up with a Qur'an app and one that can give you reminders when the prayers are based on location?

As far as I'm aware there isn't anything available right now, but I believe people are looking into either writing or porting suitable applications.

You could ask for what you're looking for here.

symbian on N900
 
This is probably a stupid question but i was just curious to ask the pros.

I know there are emulators available to run gameboy games etc but is it possible to run/port symbian apps on the N900 and what are the complications?
