Since N-gage uses an SD memory card for the games, hypathetically it could be programmed in n-gage ASM (for the processor) and saved to a memory card and "played" like a game.

Assuming games have enough of a privelege level to implement OS style functions, at least.

What type of a CPU does the N-Gage use? Does it have multilevel privelege checks?

As the nokia n-gage uses an symbian os.. and reying to get another os runni on it.. would'nt that be like trying to run windows while linux is running as a based for it?

Jeff the N-gage Qd comes with a 104Apm CPU (which CULinux Supports)
And a the multilevel Privelege checks i dont know.

NO What im saying is to delete symbian os and replace it. Also they have a Program that allows you to run Windows Under Linux, And Most Linux based computers can run Windows too.

Corrections the CPU is a ARM not APM
