Any plans on getting ScummVM to work on the upcoming Samsung Instinct? I'm not sure exaclty what OS it'll be running. It's basically a iphone clone, with a few differences.

Is it too early to tell? I hope I can play my favorite games on it.

Usual rant applies: in order to get ScummVM on device ZZZ a ScummVM developer should have this device and be interested in porting. Donating this device to ScummVM team may help with that.

Samsung Instinct doesn't run Windows mobile or Symbian, but it's own OS that only allow 3rd party software made with Java.

And ScummVM is a C/C++ program, not a Java program.

That's enough for me to buy an iphone instead!

Thank you for pointing out that the Instinct runs Java. That'll limit a lot of other programs as well.
