RDillus: That's a very misleading claim. 
Yes, you need an extra performance for emulation of an operating system on top of another OS. But figure "5 times stronger machine" is absurd - it might be few percent stronger, or many more times, depends on the both OS's, processor, etc. Secondly, "emulator" might be just wrapped API, by which I mean if you have a function call for some Symbian function, on Maemo it would just call some function, which would be internally different, but would behave in the same way as on Symbian. That way, you wouldn't need nearly any performance extra, because you are still running only one OS. This is, as far as I know, how Wine works...

Wow, that's really cool. As a fan of fighting games I have to find a way how to play that. Maybe I'll create the API I mentioned after all.
But on a serious note now: Since the platform is discontinued by Nokia anyway, I was wondering if we could get Nokia to release the API specification. That way we could possibly make at least partially compatible framework for N900. Is there anybody on this forum in contact with Nokia?

The N-Gage API is in fact an extension of the RGA API available in the Open C++ plug-in
