Symbian emulator

Just had a nice thought...

Would it be possible to code a Symbian emulator for Symbian v3 phones?

I mean, that would be REALLY cool, to have your old apps in...

lmao, its not a bad idea, but its like running linux on windows hehehe, ill give this challenge to one of my friends, he is pretty cool in c++ so ill wut i can do cheers

Being a theorist of common sense, no knowledge of programming or serious computing stuff etc, I think it could really be possible.

I mean, most of the language the different symbain OS speak will not be of all different "ethnic" origin... so it'll be like choppin' down all the new hip slang kids use and restricting to the diccionary 😊 get my drift, you programmer-fonzies you 😉

Also, speed would not really be affected because we have faster processors in the n80 (right?) than say, my old extinct 7650, plus its not like the emulator had to interpret EVERY single line of code, like it would a linux in windows...

It would be like having a win NT or 2000 on a win XP ?
