Earlier I posted http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...&postcount=258 in the rx51 thread, where (in reply to another post) I compiled a text-only, command line Hello World program with the Pandora SDK and ran it successfully on my N800.

That got me a bit curious so I also tried with a simplistic SDL game. That worked pretty well too (although the game is useless as a game or example really, it was my niece's game which she wrote in her introduction-to-C course at uni, so don't ask for it )

Anyway it looks to me that the interoperability out-of-the-box could be greater than I imagined, at least for SDL-based stuff. If OpenGL/ES for the rx51 and the Pandora will be hidden below the SDL layer then things could be really interesting (but at this point I'm way out of my league - I don't know how this stuff will be layered).

EDIT: In case anyone wonders - this application was dynamically linked, i.e. compiled for Pandora with the Pandora SDK and libs, but using runtime libraries (libSDK, libSDK_ttf, libc etc.) from N800. Statically linked applications have an even bigger chance of working but they also have a larger memory footprint.
