I know that the iPhone is using the Mac OS X
So I think that could I install the windows in iPhone?

Are you serious? You want to ruin the iPhone with Windows? Thank God there's no way to do that!

um...go buy a treo 700w...it has windows.

And, as an added bonus...it works just like the normal windows: it crashes daily! (well, at least the windows phone that I have crashes daily)

I don't like windows mobile
I wanna install the windows vista ultimate in the iPhone
It's cold

if you want to destroy your iPhone, sent it to me before I'll take it care for sure! Anyway I don't think it could be natively possible...

Nah, I doubt you'll ever get Windows XP/Vista onto the iPhone. The only way I can see it being done, is via a remote desktop client through WiFi. I reckon that's the closest you'll ever get to "running" it on an iPhone (why you would want to do that is beyond me, but oh well).

I'm pretty sure there is a federal law against doing that in the U.S.A. It's covered in one of the by-laws of the decency act.

Punishable by $5000 fine, 60 days in jail and forfeit of your iPhone.

yah.... i highly doubt that the iphone is Intel/AMD based - so therefor windows is a nono

sure, you can run Windows on an iPhone, then you can run the iPhone version of OS X on a Cray supercomputer. Then you can run the Cray OS on a Packard Bell 486. Then you can eat a pumpkin and sit in dirt.


Perhaps you could run iPhone OS on your PS3 and hookup a touchscreen to your projector and have full 5.1 surround sound for phone calls in high definition and control it all with a Wiimote.

that sounds {censored} awesome - whos up for figuring out how to do this!!!!!!

yes you can I used bootcamp to do it!

and how par chance did you install boot camp

Is is the most far-fetched idea ive ever heard of. look at my avatar thats about as good as youre gonna get.

Btw the the IPHONE has a freescale ARM proceesor so windows is a no-no. but linux might be possible.

ARM proccessors run 400-600 mhz so not very fast either.

look at the attached image, it's self explanatory

This is probably one of the stupidest questions i've heard in a year. Of course you can't put windows on an iPhone, you may be able to use it as an external drive for an actual computer somehow, but theres no possible way you can run Windows natively on an iPhone. You'd be better off porting Linux to it.

It's like you want to buy a Ferrari and put in a Fiat engine.. The software on the iPhone must be great, with bugs (for the moment) but great! So don't even think about a win version on iPhone.. -> In fact, it's impossible because of 3000 other factors to do that.

No, its more like wanting to stitch the brain of a snail into your own hand to make it think. It's just, you know, not gonna work.

can i instal the iphone on windows?

Do you have a touchscreen? Built in phone? Sim card doodad?

it will render your iPhone dusty

Common People... or am I not getting that this thread is one big joke.

CPUs...
In order for a software to run on a platform it has to be compiled ("talk" in the machine language) of the platform.

Here are some platforms that are being used by consumer computers:

PowerPC (G3,G4,G5,etc... and even IBMs servers) - Platform with many advantages.

x86 / x64 Architectures (Intel Core2Duo, 386, 486, Pentium, AMDs, etc...) - The most common consumer PC platform.

ARM (Intel PXA, Samsung, TI OP)- Now this one is being used for portable devices...


Why ARM? - because it's energy efficient, it doesn't have a real-time hard clock (if I remember right) and its basically ultra portable so it's being used on most portable devices such as:
cell phones, PDAs, iPods and all of those.

Included with them are - Palm's Products, Blackjack, HTC, iPhone and most products we see portable.

Just like anything else in order for an Operating System to run on the product it must be written for it.
and in order for Input/Output (keypad/buttons, display, touch screen/pad, bluetooth, wifi) it must use specific drivers and firmware.

So basically the iPhone is just like most of HTC products except of the touch-screen apple introduced.

However, in order for one OS to run on the platform it must be designed for it.

Windows except of Windows Mobile / Windows CE based can't run on those machines without very nasty re-writing of the product.. (Vista/XP)

Apple however uses OS X which is NextStep. the main reason Apple bought NS was the portability of NextStep OS.
"Universal Binaries" and all the "magic" is within NextStep origin. so most if not all components of the OS can be ported (just like Linux... mmm... OS X is kinda linux... FreeBSD ).

The iPhone is one of the first commercial Linux (FreeBSD) phones out there.

Apple tries to hide the possibilities but OS X for mobile is one of the most powerful Mobile OSs being used today. (handicapped in Apple's way )

This is in no way a joke!

If it were a joke, it would acutally be funny... even if it is only funny laughing at the misfortune of others.

darwin isnt just FreeBSD and FreeBSD isnt linux - they are similar but cannot be considered one in the same... so no.. the iphone is not linux... if you are looking for a linux phone go to openmoko.org

But, surely the iPhone can be made to run Linux... Sure you would likely be throwing away a lot, but why not when people have taken HP's Graphing Calculators and made them run Linux...

Sure, it would probably be a year before anything meaningful could happen with it, but why not start now?

I am going to do some research.

every time i watch this movie i just think: how someone can do this
it's almost hurt me

about the topic, well man lets be seriously.
i think it's not possible to do, neither if someday the custom kernel makers find a way to run tiger into iphone
but linux, maybe should a good idea.. anyway here is my for this.

How do I download the internet onto my labtop?
