Do you want to run PC/XT application (Intel x86 based code) in your Symbian OS powered cellphone, including in your brand new Nokia N96 phone? Yes, you can! Currently there are many options available, including using JPC Emulator written in Java or using XTM PC Emulator for EPOC32.
JPC
JPC is a pure Java emulation of an x86 PC with fully virtual peripherals. It runs over Java Virtual Machine, with the bullet-proof security and stability of Java technology.
JPC creates a virtual computer upon which you can install your favorite operating system in a safe, flexible and powerful way. It aims to give you complete control over your favorite PC software's execution environment and JPC's multi-layered security makes it the safest solution for running the any application in quarantined environment (the Java sandbox). This means that the emulated hardware is completely isolated from the underlying hardware and cannot damage or interfere with it in any way.
JPC is copyright of Oxford University, developed as open source program. Both source code and binary file (JAR) are available for download from JPC homepage. You may also install JPC directly from your mobile phone by accessing http://www-jpc.physics.ox.ac.uk/mobile/JPC.jad
