This is exactly what I had in mind. Possible approaches might be:
1. Allow some apps to be written at a lower level and not use dynamic
memory management and GC
2. Handle telephony operations by an interrupt, so that calling/texting
always overrides the rest of the app framework
I think we'll build a better mobile OS this way. My humble opinion only.
