Will someone get WebOs from palm to work? I think WebOs has some interesting features, but would like to see it on a Windows Mobile Device....

Can somebody tell me how to make this apple taste like a banana?

seriously though, thats not happening. Ever. Sorry.

I don't think you will be seeing WM7 on any device out right now. From the sounds of it, multitouch will be a requisite for all touch WM7 phones, something which no WM phone currently has.

The Pre uses a 600 Mhz TI OMAP 3430 CPU while the Diamond uses Qualcom 7501A CPU. I haven't seen the instruction sets yet but I'm pretty sure they are not the same meaning you cannot directly port the OS over. That does not mean you can't get some form of emulator - which would slow it down - or more likely someone will invent a skin or UI that mimiks WebOS.

I saw a Mac run windows once. It had a daughter board for the differences in the instruction set but if that can happen, anything can.

There is a program for mac called boot camp. This is a very common functionality and all macs can do it out of the box. What was amazing, however, was seeing windows mobile running on an iphone. Don't have a link right now, but its out there.

The WM on the iPhone was a hoax. And if you looked at the video, the guy wasn't even touching the screen, and actions were occurring, such as the start menu popping up, etc. Check out google, you will see the scoop. But cool concept, nonetheless.

You make it seem like its an arduous task. I have a Macbook that dual boots between OS X and Win 7. All i did was dl th Win 7 RC , burn it to a disk, then opened boot camp and it pretty much handled everything, even though boot camp is nothing more than a glorified partitioning tool.
