One OS for all handhelds? | |

Programmers say their software lets a handheld run applications written for any desktop operating system Two Singapore programmers claim to have created an operating system that can run programs written for different platforms such as Windows and Linux. Called MXI (Motion Experience Interface), the new operating system will allow handhelds to run any desktop program, said R. Chandrasekar and Sam Hon Kong Lum, the 22-year-old co-inventors. At a media conference last week, the duo showed off a Compaq iPaq PDA running desktop versions of Word, Powerpoint and Internet Explorer. The same iPaq also ran a Pac-Man game for the Atari OS and a Linux version of StarOffice. The secret? The heavy lifting is done on an MXI-based server which runs the actual applications, and sends a stream of data back to the MXI Client residing on the handheld. | ||

"MXI-based server which runs the actual applications, and sends a stream of data back to the MXI Client residing on the handheld"
Sounds like Terminal Services to me. |

Another vote for Term Serv. I can it now Version 2 (Remote Desktop for PDA).
I also got excited until #1's dose of reality. |
