December 17th, 2008 | 
Author: The article Virtual BlackBerry for Windows Mobile Nearing Release? on Brighthand.com indicates that the technology for running multiple operating systems on mobile phones and handheld devices via virtualization is quickly approaching general availability for the public. Editor Ed Hardy reports that RIM announced this project over 2 years ago, and now recent reports indicate that the expected release will be soon.
Ed writes:
“It will be called the BlackBerry Application Suite, and it will run on some Windows Mobile 6.x Pro devices. In fact, users will have the option to have this suite basically take over their smartphone, with the BlackBerry shell launching when the device is turned on.
It’s a REAL BlackBerry
This virtual environment will have support for BlackBerry email, phone, calendar, address book, tasks, memos, browser, instant messaging, and other applications developed for the BlackBerry
platform, but not video playback.It will be able to connect to the BlackBerry Enterprise Server for synchronization.”
Check out the rest of the Brighthand.com article for more information.
Regular readers of vmetc.com will recall I have in interest in the evolution of the handheld and have posted my thoughts on this topic before.
