<br>
thanks for you insights and, as a matter a fact, after further
consideration prior to your response I concluded that your
interpretation is the more logical one.<br>
<br>
I have been testing an ARM emulator that Microsoft now distributes
primarily, but not only for developers of Windows Mobile 5.0 software.
It is nice because you can run it without having to also install/run
Visual Studio. It is great for conducting quick tests of the plethora
of WM apps out there whether of the no-cost or of the try before you
buy variety, This way you can test out the apps with running the risk
of hosing your "real machine". <br>
<br>
I have not tried to do so myself but I would be curious to know what
would happen if the Nokia sw for the 770 were installed on the
Microsoft ARM emulator. I have to assume that the emulator is agnostic
with respect to the actual target ARM processor (e.g. Intel, TI, etc)
to which the OS has been compiled. Of course the emulator is not going
to have any specialized HW (e.g. DSP) beyond what is standard for the
Windows Mobile 5.0 environment.<br>
<br>
Actually the problem with the emulator is that, like the VMWare VMWare
player, there is no provision for creating a Virtual Machine image, at
least as far as I know, not having read the manual for the emulator if
in fact there is manual.<br>

<pre wrap="">Coming from the x86 virtualization perspective... I'm pretty sure they're
discussing ARM emulation on IA32/x86 (as in, during the development and
testing phase), not IA/x86 emulation on ARM in the Maemo 2.0 Roadmap. :-)
See here:

"Building for ARMEL"
They already have a partial Type-III VMM implementation (via QEMU) but need
to finish fleshing it out so you get a full runtime environment (like the
older Palm platform emulators, and the current Windows Mobile 5.0 emulator)
so you can mimic an entire device rather than specific app-run functionality.

Subject: [maemo-users] Next revision of 770 hardware - any idea when it
willbe available?
All,
I noticed in the Maemo software roadmap on the www page whose url is
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://maemo.org/platform/docs/roadmap.html">http://maemo.org/platform/docs/roadmap.html</a>
a reference to x86 device emulation/virtualization but I wonder whether
the performance of the current hardware would be anywhere near
sufficient to allow anything useful to be accomplished in a vm environment.
