Multiple operating systems on your mobile

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

That popular virtualisation vendor VMware has just bought a French company known for a similar practice, only not so much on PCs or Servers but on mobile phones instead.

That’s right folks; no longer could you be tied into running only Windows Mobile or Symbian on your handsets, why not have them all or just one that your phone shouldn’t support in the first place.

If it all sounds too good to be true or why haven’t you heard of it sooner, that’s because we didn’t know about it either until VMware bought them.

Trango Virtual Processors based in Grenoble, has technology that could allow a handset to run Windows Mobile and Nokia’s Symbian operating systems all on the same phone.

VMware is well known for their software for allowing computers to work more efficiently, by running more than one operating system.

Perhaps they could bring this to mass market and just open up the whole industry, making it a users choice as to whose OS they run on their handset.

We rejoice at this news and let the development begin we say, hurrah!

Multiple clients on Android IM application

Friday, October 31st, 2008

For the last four hours I have been trying to get the G1’s IM client to add another account. I’m using my main Mobile Industry Review account on the device — but I have a load of other accounts that I’d like to use — MSN, Yahoo and so on — but I can’t for the life of me work out how to add them.

It appears to be possible judging by the screenshot of the video posted by the Google Android IM/Gtalk team.

I can’t find a How-To or a manual for this… has anyone figured it out?
