Some time ago I wrote about a way to run MS Windows and MAC on Nokia Internet Tablets. The trick was to use DOSBox utility - x86 PC emulator. It's very interesting to see DOSBox running on S60 (and it's not a demo). What's the use of this? Well, mostly fun & prove of concept (it may not be usable in many cases, but isn't it cool?). Someone may use it to run old DOS apps or games, others will try to install Windows 3.1 or Windows 95 (rather to prove that these systems do work on Symbian devices / ARM hardware).

Have fun!

The port was possible thanks to some libraries published by FN/Symbian (like OpenC/C++ or SDL). BTW, have you heard about any examples of the successful use of OpenC, OpenC++ and RGA plugins in open-source applications ported to S60? I'm waiting for your entries!

Forum Nokia provides some success stories on Open C/C++ technology landing page and Quick Start section, you may also find some examples of using these libraries here (like Open C IRC Example, Open C FTP Client Example, Open C SMS Crypto Example and some games).
