running windows mobile applications on openmoko

[mobi phil]

without knowing the depth of WINE, I assume there are following things
inside:

1. an executable loader/remaper/dynamic linker etc.
2. mapping windows system/kernel calls to linux system/kernel calls

the same two things should be implemented... Why? because there are tons of
useful applications on windows mobile. Both 1 and 2 the more they would be
deeper embedded into an openmoko device, more people would consider the
linux device as an alternative... When I mean deeper embedded, means closer
to kernel... The more layers are between the slower the application will
run.


afaik, wince has nothing in common with windows except the manufacturer,

well from programmers point of view, they are quite close to each other. The
main thing, gui programming is probably 60% of the main Win32 API of
windowsXP/NT etc.
