VMware Demos Two Operating Systems On Mobile Phone

Posted by timothy on from the for-both-your-personalities dept.

nk497 writes "Virtualisation firm VMware has demonstrated its new mobile virtualisation platform, which allows two operating systems to be used at the same time on a single device. On stage at its European conference, VMware reps used a touchscreen Nokia N800 — more of a tablet computer than a phone — with a prototype of its hypervisor to boot and run both Windows CE and Google's Android, at the same time. The firm has yet to announce when such tech will be found in phones."

    Gotta admit. I have to use virtualization in a professional environment. As much as I like OSS (I don't use any closed source product except the linux nvidia driver), VMware kicks VBox's ass (and all the QEmu etc. alternatives I've tried). I hate it, but VMware products are the most advanced and I'll continue to use them as long as there's no equivalent OSS alternative.
