Supporting GNUstep on harmattan and try to port opensource apps would be an other way to loose time and energy

please go away.

So, i must agree with author himself:

This is a very weird project. You may ask, why am I doing this? The answer is: no ****ing idea
I also don't have idea about any use for something like that.

Or a group of them. I suppose it will be easier to get the simplest apps running first. There is an open-source implementation of Cocoa called GNUstep; it should be possible to use this to represent iOS cocoa in theory. Other things like OpenGLES might be more complicated.

open source includes the definition of new ideas between running iOs on maemo is not new,i have seen it before somewhere here among one of thousand of posts.It can be taken positively atleast for the sake of apps ;p
though N900 is a complete iDont.
great post Htheb.taixzo might wanna dig it during his leisure time;p

Is there any iOS application that anyone would actually need? I can't think of any app that is more usefull then the apps on the n900 and n9. (Except for certain games)
Half the apps on iOS are just web pages in apps. The only application that I can think of would be Shazam, but even that one is not necessary.


Other then that, good luck to the developer and it would still be fun to see it ported, even without cool possibility's.

Umm... maybe GarageBand? (although afaik it is only available for iPad, but still would like to see it running on n9[00])

The frameworks are missing.

This'll probably run text-mode programs, but that's about it.

It is cool though, and maybe someone might bother to re-implement the frameworks based on their known functions.

(Interestingly, the diff is for 2.6.37, similar to the Nemo kernel. Anyone want to merge it in?)

What is the least number of frameworks an app needs to run? Is it only Cocoa Touch? Some of those frameworks would be easier to re-implement than others.
