Run Windows 3.1 on N810 Tablet
Techtree News Staff, Jul 18, 2008 1944 hrs IST
Ubergeek John Mayson has managed to install Windows 3.1 under DOSBox on Nokia N810.
It's totally unbelievable what geeks and fanboys can do to their hardware. Modding Symbian OS is so last decade!
After the groundbreaking news of Nokia making Symbian OS open source, fanboys and geeks have an even bigger reason to cheer. Nokia's N810 Internet Tablet managed to grab the attention of gadget geeks and Nokia fanboys. Installing Linux on mobile Internet devices like N810 would be the first thing on the minds of alpha-geeks.
Yesterday at the Internet Tablet forum, a nostalgic forum member John Mayson posted about his gig of installing Windows 3.1 under DOSBox on Nokia N810. With screenshots uploaded on Picasa Web to prove his point, he mentioned about threads used in running DOSBox on N810.
Forum members joined the nostalgic trip by talking about DOS games and applications. DOSBox, an x86 emulator with DOS, will be the killer app for emulating Windows on mobile Internet devices based on Intel's x86 based nostalgeek!
After announcement of Symbian going Open Source, Open Handset Alliance has pulled sleeves for pacing Android OS's development while Mobile Linux Foundation's work on LiMO Linux on Mobiles goes at their own pace. Apple's iPhone OS 2.0 has already made many drool over it. Geeks and fanboys will have much fun coming their way with these mobile platform OSes.
Instructions about Windows 3.1 on DOSBox can be found here.
