Mac OS X on the Sony UX: an Apple in one hand
Once we saw refurbished Sony UXs for around a grand, I thought I had seen it all for the UX. Nope, not by a long shot. One adventurous owner decided that he wanted Mac OS X on his handheld device and he was kind enough to document the entire process, step-by-step. sev7en as he goes by, has pages of documentation to get that little Sony running; he’s even got the touchscreen working with ink and a third party on-screen keyboard! Bear in mind that if you plan to try an OS X install on non-Apple hardware, you might be skirting some legal issues, but allegedly, it’s OK for an Apple developer to do so. You’re on your own there….here’s another shot:
This is too flippin cool!
If it helps, one can register as a developer on the apple website without cost.
Is that enough to make this legal with a valid OSX license?
Now that you mention it, Steven, I did register as a developer about 5 years ago, simply in order to download the Java VM for OS X 10.2.
There was a time when I’d have liked nothing better than to be able to install OS X on some decent, solid hardware with a keyboard that worked (not a UX then, obviously, but perhaps another flavour of Vaio). Now I can’t be bothered. Windows XP is working fine for me. I’ve already uninstalled Safari for Windows — I find that I actually prefer IE7. What’s happened to me?
Art, it means that you’ve been seduced by the Dark Side.
But, in you, good there is, still. Save you, we can…
The main problem is that suspend/resume does not work yet. What is the meaning of UX without these functions?
