Impressive feat by VMWare. I'd say they purposefully ommited Symbian and/or Maemo just to not bug Nokia about this. I'd pay right now to run Linux on my Symbian S60 phone.

that flash is very reminiscent of the glitches liqbase encounters on some machines on first run.
My bet, they would stop if you closed down vmware and restarted
I kept saying it was deep in hardware

After watching the video, I think VMware is being a bit deceptive. She implies that this is VMware running on a mobile phone, and multitasking other mobile phone OS's. Most people will watch it and see a Nokia device and believe it is a phone. If they'd demo'd this on an N95, then the video would be more honest.
(But, it's still great for us. I love VMware on my laptop.)

OK, so if this is real, and guys who are more in-the-know than I'll ever be say it probably is, then... I want it. So much it hurts.
It is at this point that a guy working for VMWare should show up on these forums and post a download link for us all to try.

Virtualization of 2 mini os's have been done by Xen on ARM more than 8 months ago.
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenARM
document here
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/Xe...Guide_v1+0.pdf
Now that we see that VMWare has jumped on the same platform it is wonderful news, though I doubt there will be a significant release till at least the end of year.
Virtual playgrounds are always nice

If you want developers to sink time into your platform, you have to make it worth their while. For a big player like VMWare, being popular in the forum isn't enough.
