So I got to thinking about what Wine does for Linux PCs. It creates a compatibility layer for windows applications. So what if they/we made a version that created a compatibility layer for Windows Mobile applications for the Nokia ITs.
I recently bought a N800 and love it! However I have some Windows Mobile applications that I would like to use on the N800.
So I set out to find an emulator... I googled around and found a thread on this forum that talked about emulating windows on the n800. I then got the idea of running the windows emulator then the windows mobile emulator under that... Not a good idea... Very slow if it would work at all. Besides emulating arm architecture to x86 back to arm = very slow performance. So I got to thinking about what Wine does for Linux PCs. It creates a compatibility layer for windows applications. So what if they/we made a version that created a compatibility layer for Windows Mobile applications for the Nokia ITs. That way there would not be any cross-architecture emulation hogging resouces, and there would be a performance boost because you could run the Windows Mobile Applications at the speed of the Nokia IT you run it on...
Anyways I hope I planted a seed in some programmers mind.(I would like to help but i'm only good at writing "Hello World" programs
So what do you guys think?
