I think it was this one although I’m not sure now.

yeah, i see your point in both cases. : ) i myself would prefer ios for its concise architecture and stable api, not to mention the lack of late ’90s windows pc-like fragmentation, but the hardware is ridiculously expensive (especially here in central europe) and jailbreaking is much more of a hassle than rooting android..

so.. could you link me to that android build you mentioned? googling this stuff really doesn’t help..

I do actually, I switched from an iPhone to android when I was in the UK, as my iPhone doesn’t take sim cards.. It wasn’t a problem when I lived in the USA, but when traveling I needed to take SIM cards. I nearly went back to an iPhone in hong kong but when I saw google maps & google translate in action, I was pretty much boxed into android. Personally I preferred the iPhone, but when you live somewhere where you cannot read and have a hard time getting around, the droid platform makes a nice crutch.

I saw one build of Qemu on Android and I was even thinking of moving my BBS to it, as it sure is small, but the lack of a RS-232 port kind of kills it for me.

anyway, unrelated to your post, and i don’t even know if you have an android device (probably not), but have you ever tried using qemu on android?

there are some .apks floating around the ‘net, but all of them are for emulating x86. i have a chroot environment set up (debian stable), but qemu-system-arm is not in the repos.

is it worth trying to build it from source (cross-compiling or maybe on the device itself, lol) or is it currently impossible to run e.g. a virtualised netbsd-arm in my linux chroot with ncurses output?

I wish! … And the thought had crossed my mind a few times!

it sure does, doesn’t it!

for some reason it reminds me a bit of the windows 98 installer
