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: http://maemo.org/platform/docs/tutorials/Maemo_tutorial.html "Things not yet part of Maemo SDK" and "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. -JMills -- Jason Mills -- jmills at vmware.com Portal Project Manager / Administrator VMTN Turner of Knobs and Pusher of Buttons -----Original Message----- From: maemo-users-bounces at maemo.org on behalf of John B.

All, I noticed in the Maemo software roadmap on the www page whose url is http://maemo.org/platform/docs/roadmap.html 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. -- Best Regards, John Holmblad
