Several new announcement were made at VMworld Europe 2009 including
VMware vCenter server heartbeat , VMware bare metal client hypervisor
- Client Virtualization Platform (CVP), VMware datacenter (OS VDC-
OS),VMware vShield Zones. Among several announcements and demos there
was one announcement that looked pretty fascinating to me - that was
new Nokia N800 cell phone running VMware Hypervisor - sounds
interesting watch out yourself.

I am very interested in this. About a week ago I heard some
interesting talk about installing android natively on the Nokia N810
tablet.

Including this page:
http://www.talkandroid.com/134-android-nokia-n810-install/

But my N810 is freezing whenever I attempt the install. Has anyone
else tried this? Can you get it to work?

I know nothing about hypervisor maybe we can spend some time digging
deeply into VM-tech.

The other thing I am very interested in is getting a Citrix ICA client
running on the N810. Citrix has a Linux-ARM client that worked on the
N800 but is broken on the N810 because of an apparent change in the
architechture. (arm to arm-el?)

I don't know a lot a ARM hardware but am really looking for a
solution.

Be nice if this would work on the N770 as well.

A hypervisor is a generic term for a kernel that divides and manages
multiple domains on a single machine. Xen is a hypervisor spec (API
if you will) that is implemented by Linux, Solaris, a number of the
BSDs, and others, as well as their own hypervisor product (open source
GPLed product). Hypervisors are of two flavors, but mostly when
your'e talking about them you're talking about paravirtualization.
Better explained http://xen.org/about/paravirtualization.html there at
Xen's site (with pretty pictures!) than I can.
