i dont think iphone-games are debian packages...?! correct me if i'm wrong.

technically it should be possible because both the n900 and iphone have quite similar hardware, but its up to the developers to create n900-versions of their games.

If you can run your iPhone games under Debian, then yes...


Otherwise, not so much. You know how many years it took to reimplement the Win32 API (WINE project) to a decent standard o performance and functionality? While I'm sure the iPhone APIs are simpler and better documented, it's still a huge project, and if there were any efforts (I don't know of any), they'd be impractically incomplete/buggy/slow at this point.

Some iPhone applications are .deb packages, but if a package is a debian package that doesn't mean it can be installed
Both have very different systems for UIs and such, so even if you install a .deb package it won't work/run

If the dev ports the app it would run.

@numair: .deb is actually just the wrapper (used for jailbroken iphone apps). The binaries (executables) inside them are completely different from the ones used by N900. So, no, they're not compatible with one another.

But if there's any particular app or games that you would really like to have on N900; why don't you write to the developers (there should be a link to them in their respective appstore pages) and see if they would consider porting their apps to N900.
