Oh yes…you read that right: this video shows a demo of a Nokia N800 running VMware’s MVP (Mobile Virtualisation Platform), a hypervisor which virtualises the phone hardware, basically allowing you to run most any mobile device OS or more than one at once. In this demo the phone is running Windows CE and Android at the same time, while not limiting the functionality in any way.

Okay, technically the N800 is not a phone, but this technology is heading there fast. Very interesting, especially if both running OSes get full (shared) access to the actual comms hardware so you could for example run Android for your (GSM) phone functionality and Windows Mobile for the (3G) office connectivity at the same time.
