Just curious. And, with some really cool iPhone apps out there, a bit desirous.

Is it possible for a whiz of a developer to work backwards from the iPhone SDK to create an emulator for the N8** that would allow us to download and use the plethora of apps for the iPhone and iPod touch? An emulator allowing us to use Palm apps has been done with Garnet. And we can spoof websites into thinking we're on an iPhone by changing the user agent.

The RX51 apparently will also have an accelerometer, which would provide even more of the Apple hardware capabilities. And a lot of the iPhone apps seem like they could easily have been written for other platforms, they just weren't (I suppose because of the relatively huge iPhone user base). Like Google Voice Search, where you just speak into the microphone and Google responds as if you had typed the query. It seems to me that all the heavy lifting is done by Google, not on the iPhone, but the iPhone is the only way (except maybe Android) I know of that you can access that cool technology.
