Sony Ericsson IDOU: Digicam Killer?

You know the days of non-professional digicams are numbered when a sexy touchscreen phone with full MP3 player functions also comes with a 12.1 megapixel camera. And this, the IDOU does. But with the launch targeted at no earlier than mid 2009. Sony Ericsson isn't saying much more, except that the IDOU wields a complete arsenal of iPhone-class features, such as 3.5 inch full-touchscreen with 16:9 aspect ratio, a Symbian OS, and an elegantly minimalist design.

Windows 3.1 installed and running on Nokia N95

Total badazz tweak! Polish bulletin board FrazPC last night received a post from developer and writer Marcin-PRV showing that he can successfully run Windows 3.1 simultaneously with Symbian S60 on a Nokia N95.

This feat could not normally be done by the N95's ARM processor, but thanks to an emulator known as DOSBox for Symbian, the ARM chip emulates the x86 architecture...a 486, to be exact, according to Marcin.



Here are some screenshots:


Here's how he did it:
