Wine ported to Android
At the FOSDEM conference, which takes place on the 2nd and 3rd of February in Brussels, Alexander Julliard, leader of the Wine project, announced that Wine will be ported to Android under ARM.
Wine is an alternative implementation of the Windows API that allows you to run Windows applications on Linux \ Unix and Mac OS. Projects like ReactOS and Cedega use Wine in some way.
Alexander showed a small demo, which still has performance problems and several other flaws, but they will all be corrected before the release of the final version.

So, soon, happy owners of Android smartphones will be able to pamper their devices with Paint, Word, or maybe someone will even be able to run Photoshop. Given that the flagships can now contain 4 cores and 4 gigabytes of RAM, I would not be surprised at this in a couple of years. And of course, the fact that Alexander already has some groundwork looks very promising.
UPD 1: If you believe the source, then we are talking about the ARM version of Android.
