Google Android running on Windows Mobile phones ! January 02, 2008 [MS Smartphone] | By Edward J. R.  Not only HTC corporation is using vast amounts of money earned on sales of Windows Mobile phones to invest in their phones powered by Google Android, but also fans of Google Android mobile operating system are using Windows Mobile to test applications with use of Windows Mobile phones: I started a project to "demonstrate" Android on existing handsets by way of a VNC server running inside the Android emulator. After further exploration I discovered that one already exists, apparently inside of /system/lib/libsurfaceflinger.so and actually does work. The performance of this implementation is terrible, and ultimately would not run well connected to my Moto Q running .NET VNC Viewer (http://dotnetvnc.sourceforge.net). So, I found an existing project implementing a frame buffer VNC server and adapted/rewrote it to work on Android. Performance is still bad, but it is workable and does let you "see" Android running on a 320x240 mobile LCD which is certainly very cool. To learn more, click HERE . It looks like Windows Mobile is being pushed to the "business users" niche not only by Apple iPhone and Symbian but also by Google Android operating system... and Microsoft needs to do something radically new, and not the same "catch-up game", in order to keep up with competition!
