Windows Arrives For The Tablets
I’ve not tried this yet, but some creative chaps at the usual Internet Tablet Talk have worked up a version of Windows 3.1 that will run on your Nokia Internet Tablet. Using an app called Dosbox, user Jmayson was able to get this early version of Windows running on his N810 Internet Tablet.
While the real practicality of this is obviously limited, I think it’s fascinating that we now have Android, Debian, Windows, and other operating systems running on the Nokia Internet Tablets. There’s even talk of Nokia sponsoring a project to get Ubuntu Mobile running on the Tablets, as well. What do you think? Do you think it’s a completely useless activity, or do you think it has deeper rewards that we may start to see later on down the road?
*Note* I’ve not installed Windows 3.1 on my Tablet, and I don’t plan to. Please do not leave comments asking for help here. The Internet Tablet Talk thread link is in the post (and here) so that you can immediately join in the conversation and community already working on this. Enjoy.

I think this is useless. Really. It looks like a sport. “Yeah! I am able to reach the top of Everest on my bike!” This is interesting no more than any sport record. It shows the highest achievent, but it gives nothing to usual people.
Well, I’m the one who did it. It was more of an exercise to see if it could be done rather than if it was practical. As I have time I’m going to keep playing with it, but I don’t expect any productivity breakthroughs. :-)
