I wouldn’t expect the emulator to run very well on an Eee PC. It’s a bit of a resource hog on my PC with a 1.6GHz dual core processor. I can only imagine how sluggish it would be on a 900MHz Celeron.

@kevin:regarding shift resemblence to tytn II WRT to hardware, I would say no. The only resemblence they have is that both are using the same processor. shift has 128mb rom and 64mb ram

tytn ii has 256mb rom and 128mb ram

How soon before you do something techy-perv, like running XP in emulation on your OS X-running Q1U and then, under that, have WinMob 6.1 being emulated too?

If you keep this up, you’ll have to grow face hair like Dali.

Oh wait …

@gonzalo again: one more thing… I don’t think you could dual boot windows mobile. It runs on ARM processors, not X86 processors. The emulator is basically like Virtual PC, except that it emulates an ARM processor and associated Windows Mobile hardware instead of an X86 PC-compatible computer.

The Shift just has a WM device built into it; I think it’s roughly the same ‘guts’ as an HTC TyTN II.

Would be neat to run WinMo on a Eee or mini note.

Gonzalo: the emulators just run as applications on your computer itself, just like virtual PC does. I use them all the time at work. The boot time is actually not much faster than an actual ARM-based WM device

Also note that on a 800×480 screen, the emulator UI will not fit entirely on the screen at that native resolution. You could run without the ’skin’ around the emulator display, though that takes some fiddling with the configuration.

Nice!! i’m going to try that. do you know if anyone has developed a system that will let you run WM on your PC/Laptop at the same time as an OS? sort of like the HTC shift. or even better, dual boot WM and windows? i’m sure boot times for WM on a C2D would be seconds.
