Interesting article Morpheus!  |
That topic is something I was wondering about also. My question was whether or not PalmSource could modify PalmOS to run on the upcoming "handtops" (the handheld Windows XP machines). It would be incredible hardware, even if a little expensive. And a dual boot would give you both the benefits of a PDA and a laptop all together. I suppose you could run a Palm simulator, but that's not just the same, and it still has to boot up. I don't know how many people other than me would be interested, but I like the idea.
I know there are people that are running Linux on some of the ipaq PDAs. So I guess that sort of thing is probably possible, but takes a whole lot of work and to make the conversion it a product that the average user can use might be even tougher.
Besides, aren't PalmOS and Linux (and even WinCE) better than Symbian anyway?
