So. The iPhone and iPod touch have a 620MHz ARM11 processor...and tons of phones have similar ARM11 processors, like the Motorola RIZR, the Nokia E90, the Nokia N800 and N810 "internet tablet", and many others.
It's a million to one, but with hacking, would it be possible to "port", per se, iPhone OS onto these devices? Obviously there would be issues, like a "pointer" driver for non-touchscreen devices, and likewise a keyboard driver, but the same way there's Mac OSx86, is a detachment of iPhone OS from the iPhone and iPod touch feasible?
By the by, I'm a happy iPhone user, and don't personally have any of these phones, but I'm just curious, and want to find out if, indeed, it could be done.
