VMWare on N800: Windows CE and Android Running
 
From Slashdot:

Wow... I don't think we'll ever see it though...

"Virtualisation firm VMware has demonstrated its new mobile virtualisation platform, which allows two operating systems to be used at the same time on a single device. On stage at its European conference, VMware reps used a touchscreen Nokia N800 — more of a tablet computer than a phone — with a prototype of its hypervisor to boot and run both Windows CE and Google's Android, at the same time. The firm has yet to announce when such tech will be found in phones."

OMG (ok teen girl mode off now)!

That is stunning - we use VMware at work, and it is one of the greatest things out for years and years. This takes it to a new level.

Something is wrong with that n800, it seems fast even though it runs two OS at once. :(

It probably has no Python apps running.

I'm with Kozzi. That seemed suspiciously fast.

I suspect trickery... Look at the last screen in the video, where the earth is spinning in Android. The screen is refreshing strangely; there's some kind of brief flash every so often. Perhaps there's more VNC than VMWare in that N800.

I don't expect VMWare to use cheap tricks to promote their software. That will cost them dearly if ever someone finds out.

Last November VMWare acquired a small french company called Trango Virtual Processors. Here's an old article:
