How about this, Windows Mobile on iPhone 3G? Well this is possible the Norwegian developer Erik Kristiansen blames the long winter for developing this application. Cool kid really and amazing work. Although the boot camp application enabling you to run both iPhone and Windows Mobile on your iPhone is in Beta version he plans to release this application officially in January 2009 as open source.
Enabling users to run Windows Mobile on iPhone hardware is maybe the first step to releasing the bond between hardware and mobile operating systems. Imagine the freedom of buying an HTC Touch Diamond and puting an iPhone OS on it or BlackBerry touch device with Windows Mobile on it.
This software sure makes me think, if it is possible to run Windows Mobile 6.1 on iPhone 3G hardware, will this mean that it is possible one day to buy the device and the OS separately. Well lets hope so. This will mean more freedom for the end user, the freedom of choice.
On the other hand the OS developers will work harder to create more functional, user friendly operating systems and the hardware manufacturers will put their attention to developing more and more powerful mobile phones supporting these operating systems. The boot camp enabling you to run Windows Mobile on your iPhone is just the first step toward this "revolution".
