I did some reading about android and i do have a vague idea of what a
binder does and if i get to do the project it will really be
interesting to find a solution to mimic binder in the user space of
iphone.The project is basically meant to be a research project or
rather exploration type project.

Can you please elaborate on this , does it mean an iphone user won't
be allowed to run a free app (i would like it to be free) that will
emulate android .., or is there some other restrictions ...
and one more thing i see what PCs are to mainframes , smartphones are
to PCs (in terms of processing power and the rate of development --may
be the moorie's law).so the processing power may be a concern now but
may not be 5 years from now..please correct me if my assumptions are
wrong.
