well as some people mentioned about the closed apis and other things
and specially apple sueing me (that i want the least)
so how about the opposite thing ..making an emulator to run android
apps on iphone..apis are open and i believe no one will sue me for
that and also *if* its successful it may help android developers with
a wider market and won't do any disservice to open source .
Please let me know your views ... i really need help or any other
suggestion for a nice project related to mobile operating systems
thanks and regards
