So I have this program that is only available on windows powered PDAs, but I was thinking if there is some kind of emulator for android that could run those programs?
Nope.

Windows Mobile uses a registry, android does not. Android uses APK's, WinMo uses cabs.
Honestly coming from a WinMo there isn't one app i haven't been able to find thats better on the android

Can't wait for HTC to offer a free Windows Mobile upgrade for your PDA? Visual Windows Mobile 6 is an application designed to make your Windows Mobile 5.0 PDA or phone look and act a bit more like a WM6 device.
It seems like this happens every time a new operating system is announced. There are programs to make Windows XP look like Vista or Mac OS X. There are programs designed to make Windows Mobile phones look like Apple's upcoming iPhone.
Really, what this shows is that independent developers are just about as capable as large businesses at developing ways to spruce up a computer interface. But people are more likely to notice their designs when they pick up on innovations that are already getting a lot of attention like the Aero interface in Windows Vista, the touch-screen iPhone, or in this case, Windows Mobile 6.
Visual Windows Mobile 6 also comes with a couple of extra programs that add functions like a fake cursor, battery monitor, and program launcher.

Hello all! I'm curious to know whether it is at all possible to convert Android applications to Windows Mobile 6.5 OS? Android has quite a selection of pretty nice apps, and it seems like there isn't that much out there for Win Mo 6.5.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys!

You would need a major overhaul of the program to make it suitable for Windows Mobile. Case in point, Android (at least when I last checked) uses java as a programming language for its programs. Windows Mobile uses C, C++, and C# (.net) for programming languages. There is not easy way to turn a java program into a C++ program. If you are not a programmer or are one and don't know your programming languages very well, I would say you can't "convert" an android program to a Windows Mobile program.
android is both java and c++
but wm c++ is .net or microMFC or pure win32
so even if one had the source code for the android program in c++
all calls to the os and or libs would have to be changed
to match wm
in many cases it would be faster to rewrite the whole program from scratch which of cause would also be a time consuming thing
what about converting WM app to android? well I guess the answer would be the same (I do not know anything about programming)
should have just bought a android phone and then you got everything you could ever want and most of its free.
Soem apps can be converted but others can't. Just google it and see if it can; best way to be honest.
Hi !
As far as I know, beneath Windows Phone 7 there is basically still Windows CE running. So I'm wondering, is/may/will it be possible to run Windows Mobile 6 Apps on Windows Phone 7? Or do we already know that this can't happen because the underlying architecture is too different? Is anyone working on this?
For example, has anyone tried to copy a Windows Mobile 6 Filemanager to WP7 and run it somehow?
Best regards

I'm going to go with no here.... not only from all of the months and months and months of people saying no but from the simple fact that WP7 is based on silverlight which wm 6.1 and 6.5 aren't.... at all....
This is why aps aren't backwards OR forwards compatible which people put up a pretty big stink about when WP7 was announced but seems to have died down now that we're able to see what can actually be done with silverlight
So... no.. not compatible
Also, just think about the work to emulate the wm6 crappiness. Thousand of empty bucles, glitchy graphic rendering, millions of delays, agggg..
No, seriously. Windows Mobile was powerful, but it's just too old. It should be possible to emulate the applications (in theory everything is possible), but I think is just too much effort, and there is no such big reason to put resources on something like that.
is ther a way to flash windows os on an android phone..????????
No.
10 chars.
So far, I've heard of Windows 3.1 running on an Android phone by means of DOSBox emulator.
But running Windows natively, that is not going to happen.
Win 98 on Milestone
Windows 95
Oh its Win95/98 now, that's some progress there. As I understand it QEMU emulator is used in both cases.
It is also possible to connect to a remote Windows desktop on Android phone, using Wyse PocketCloud for Android, and maybe other software.
any idea how ...to run windows using the emulator...procedure..???
I don't see why would you want to do it? As a joke?
Microsoft seems to have ditched the option of running Android apps on Windows 10 Mobile and I'm wondering if there is a way around this.
Thanks.
NO.
