Windoze for iPhone? Help me understand this…

“Windoze for iPhone” showed up in Cydia today, under the Xsellize repo. I thought this must be a joke, but I proceeded to download and install it anyway. It turns out that it is a project called “Bochs“, and features Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. They only really work on the iPhone 3GS, as the other iPhones don’t have the RAM or processing power needed.

I really don’t know what the point of this project is. You can’t really do very much with this. Windows 95 takes a long time to boot up, and runs quite slow on the iPhone 3GS, so I imagine it not working at all on the 3G and EDGE models. Having said that, this is a real Windows emulator, working on an iPhone. I was able to navigate around the desktop, hit the “Start” button, go to “Programs”, and open the MS DOS Prompt. I tried to open Internet Explorer, but I got an error, (hilarious!), saying “An unexpected error occurred.”. Unexpected is right, YOUR RUNNING ON AN iPHONE!

Who knows what this could lead to. There are definitely improvements to be made. I could feel my iPhone heating up, as I watched the battery deplete rapidly, right before my eyes. This seems like just a first step, but into what, I’m not sure.

Here’s a few screen shots that I took, while trying to make this work:

korisno koliko i Win 3.1/95 na symbianu 
"instalacija" je teška nekih 35 MB
Win 3.1 fercera i na iPhone-u "classic"
Win 95 zaglavi prilikom boot up-a

boot-ov'o se i Win 95 (nakon 20-ak minuta  )

Svaka cast 
Pre ce da pokrenu i windows 98 na iPhone-u nego sto ja pronadjem resenje za ovaj HTC 
Bochs je mator projekat, ali obecava 

probao sam ovo pre mesec, dva, i toliko je sporo da je nemoguce koristiti...na iPhone 2G  zato 3GS...

stvarno me prijatno iznenadjuje ovaj ifon,svaka cast i samo napred

Ako volis da se zezaš sa time pogledaj ovde za win 95, vidim da je covek pokrenuo i  win98 i XP

iPhone 3GS capable of 720p, 1080p hi-def playback?

A forum post to Chinese-language site weiphone.com (Translated Link) indicates that the iPhone 3GS is capable of playing back both 720p and 1080p video encoded in H.264 through the built-in video player, suggesting that Apple is currently placing arbitrary limits on the device, either to preserve battery life or keep its functionality more consistent with that of prior iPhone OS devices. Using the free document storage and viewing application FileAid, forum member fridtear was able to circumvent Apple’s video restrictions, smoothly playing back files up to 30 Mbps in 1920x1080 resolution via the iPhone 3GS’ built-in video player.

While the effects on the device’s temperature and battery of playing back such large video files is unclear, these tests do appear to indicate that Apple would be able to open up the 3GS and any similarly-appointed future iPhone OS devices to playback of HD video files purchased from the iTunes Store, and potentially allow the devices to output HD-quality video via the Component AV Cable for iPod and iPhone.

A iPhone puca i puca...


...Osamdesetogodišnji umirvljenik iz predgrađa Pariza izjavio je da je zaslon njegova iPhonea popucao dok je držao aparat u rukama, dan nakon što je jedan radnik supermarketa izjavio je da je zadobio ozljedu oka kada je eksplodirao zaslon njegovog telefona.

Osmero Francuza do sada je prijavilo slične probleme s aparatima kompanije Apple. Oni kažu da su zasloni njihovih telefona eksplodirali ili popucali bez ikakvog razloga. Jedan tinejdžer je na ovaj način u kolovozu zadobio ozljedu oka, prenijela je Beta.

Apple je optužen da je pokušao zataškati 15 slučajeva pregrijavanja i paljenja iPoda u SAD i jedan sličan slučaj u Velikoj Britaniji. Pretpostavlja se da su svi ovi događaji rezultat pregrijavanja litij-jonskih baterija.

Nijedan od incidenata nije za posljedicu imao ozbiljne ozljede, ali je Apple bio primoran jamčiti Europskoj uniji da su njegovi uređaji sigurni za upotrebu, uz napomenu da je riječ o "izoliranim incidentima".

Američki tehnološki gigant, koji je do sada prodao 26 milijuna iPhonea i 200 milijuna iPoda, objavio je da je upoznat s događajima u Francuskoj, ali da ih neće komentirati dok se ne obavi pregled oštećenih aparata.
