Well they do offer free trials of some the software, and also the player and standalone convertor are free (and open source) so hopefully they will do a cut down version for free lol

For the moment uboot is the answer. Soon... maybe by the year end, there should be first realistic forays into using VMs on smart phones - not just as a poc, but for real.
Well it makes sense, and hopefully we'll miss some of steps that laptops did, and get straight into the good stuff

I agree battery life is a real concern, but there are new technologies coming through, so hopefully that side of things will progress at the same pace. Well if we get decent tech on the N9 or maybe the device after that, then your right hopefully we will see some good implimentation of VM stuff soon... it would be a real plus.

It would be nice to sync these machines between laptop/desktop/mobile that would be a real plus for me
