I agree and disagree. There might be a way to not have to port anything at all. I was thinking of how Intelliscreen uses information from calendar, mobilesms, and other apps and displays them on the lock screen. What if we could use the same technology but do it for the homescreen. But yeah mage we need to port mono also. It will open a lot of areas to add .net and server capabitities.

[Nick.K]

cool now you are wanting a full WM6 OS or just the look and feel? I can talk to someone in making a WM6 theme and maybe use categories to emulate the look of the start menu.

[cscho0415]

cscho0415: hey can i get a developers opinion on http://www.modmyi.com/forums/3rd-par...-emulator.html

cscho0415: at least look at it
august: only 5?
sgtblue52: lol WiMo
CPICH: heh true sgt
cscho0415: im not asking ur opinion on winmo... just the thread
sgtblue52: see, it goes to a good cause
august: WiMo is about the worst ui you could have on a mobile device
sgtblue52: unless you were gonna remake it
sgtblue52: and then it wouldn't be WiMo
august: wait
cscho0415: august can u read the thread and tell me if its possible (if ur a dev)
collin: cscho0415: is it just the BSOD?
august: you want to port XP?
sgtblue52: which is a good thing
cscho0415: bsod???
cscho0415: august no
cscho0415: win mo
cscho0415: windows mobile
cscho0415: not xp
august: try to port windows the the iphone
collin: cscho0415: nvm I saw an app that said "Windows" or something one time and it was just the BSOD
collin: BSOD is Blue Screen of Death
august: and why did i have to read the thread?
cscho0415: oh
august: the title says it all
cscho0415: i want to know if its posible
sgtblue52: WiMo sucks, so no...its not portable. no dev would want to port it.
sgtblue52: possible*
collin: LOL
sgtblue52: there, answer.
august: maybe that guy who made that vista theme
sgtblue52: it would be an utter waste of any dev's time.
cscho0415: not really
august: there's nothing good to gain
cscho0415: there are at least 50 responders ti that foorum who want it
sgtblue52: so find a self-flagellating dev and you'll be good to go
cscho0415: and there is gian
cscho0415: like that pdf emulator app
sgtblue52: all I saw on the first posts was "what's the point"
august: people want a lot of things
sgtblue52: pdf what?

cscho0415: ok but i want to know if it is theoredically posible
cscho0415: not if its useful
sgtblue52: I already told you.
august: theoretically, if you had access to wimo internals
sgtblue52: Find a self-flagellating dev who's really dedicated.
august: find Silas
sgtblue52: And I'm sure they could turn out some bastardized thing that worse than the real thing.
Olav: of course it's possible, but accuration, compatibitly and performance is another question
Olav: *
cscho0415: thanks olav
cscho0415: what if u dual boot
cscho0415: and boot in winmo
Olav: i did not mention that it will come out or something

Olav: because i doubt it
cscho0415: =(
sgtblue52: most things are "possible"

p.s. an iphone is way better than any windows phone.

Thats a little bit of a harsh comment. Though I agree about buying a windows phone if you need windows. But... I must protest that windows and macs are two differant OS's for two different purposes. So its not fair to say one is better than the other. + hate to sound like your mom, dont say anything at all if you have nothing good to say. thnx!

[MattMac]

I think a boot job would be better, and we could see more features (eg, Bluetooth) and alot better performance, but no doubt alot harder. But the emulator will be alot easier.

Good luck guys. I'll defiantly look at this once it's done. Or if I can help anything, I'll keep watch over this forum

[cscho0415]

me nickmc01, megax and brando88 (a dev) had a long irc chat last night...we came to this... an emulator would an easier option. also nick is looking into making a shell such as intelliscreen... but what brando said was that dual boot is the stable way to go... i am looking to contact a dev who i was refereed to i will tell how that goes...
also mat ill post next time im on irc so u could join in and give ur ideas as well as any one else

[MattMac]

Great. It's good to know this is being looked into. Is going alot further than the iPhone Linux.
With the right devs and enough time, this is sure to work. No doubts. A great addition would have to be zodttd as of his knowledge of porting emulation systems.
This will be the next big step in iPhone development.

Let me ask, does someone currently hold the WinMo OS? Have have we yet to acquire it?

[Nick.K]

I have a blackjack so yes

[MattMac]

Sweet, so it's been made into an image an on your computer, ready for the importing to start?

[Nick.K]

not yet i need to look into a lot of different things.
