[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] X86 Virtualization

[From: Devesh Kothari]

I think the objective will be to run a sandboxed maemo root filesystem
on Linux, very much like UML( there possibly are other ways of achieving
the same) and access the host pheripherals like BT and WLAN. This way
you can mimic the entire Nokia 770 on  your host machine, and that would
really simplyfy development and hacking. Offcourse their would be a
performace difference between this sandboxed and the real target.
