Rather than porting the iOs, we should spend our time writing a guide for how to port their apps to Qt/Maemo and send it to all apps developers.

Hang on. Although you're right that sometimes this forum has its fanboys (don't all forums?) the person who said that "Apple isn't Linux" was just trying to correct the person who previously erroneously said "Since apple is linux, maemo is too, and android also", i.e. they were trying to let someone know that iOS isn't based on Linux, which seems fair enough to me. They weren't making a judgement.

But maybe....
http://apple.shawnliv.com/index.php/ios-4-cydia-source/
And if not:
If I install jailbroken iOS by iTunes to a MicroSD and...
add an entry in bootloader
it could run!

I... I can't even begin to say what is wrong with this post. But if you want to attempt to do this then good luck.







I hope you're a troll and you're not being serious

Because it's stupidly improbable to happen.
We don't have any source, we have very little information on how the bootloader for it work.
We don't have access to the kernel. The toolchain is for macs, linux has a few but they're very limited. The drivers would be so hard to do.


This is never going to happen.

N900 is just the way it should be with Linux... Fun! Open! OURS!
Screw all this closed source *****!!

(yes, I see my signature says I have an iPad and MBP - hypocritical - maybe)

Re: Any chance to port iOS ?!
 
Surely it would be best just to buy an apple device that is optimized for ios?
That's like buying an f1 car and then taking the engine out and putting in a rotary pedal from a bike.
