As was discussed here a while back. Virtual machines are sneaking onto mobile devices
Access have a Garnet (ie Palmos) VM that runs on Nokia devices....

There's a nice video and some pictures of the Palm OS emulator running on a Nokia N800 here:

My only question is why would you want to do this?

You can pretty much get emulators of vintage technology for everything (I have a NES emulator on my iPhone and a BBC Micro emulator on a PDA) but this is really for the geek factor. I've nothing against Palmsource but the the argument that suggests "wow, you can now get 38,000 Palm app's on a much more powerful computer than a Palm" strikes me as not especially useful.

I wonder what Nokia think of this?
