iDOS is a full DOS emulator that is based on an open-source DOS emulator, DOSbox. It is a universal app that has PC keyboard support, mouse support, multiple screen modes etc.

Over at TouchArcade, a member of their forums has managed to install and run Windows 3.0 on his iPad and is now playing Solitaire on Windows 3.0.

iDOS app was first approved by Apple for the App Store and was available for just $0.99, but just a few hours later it was pulled down. Even if Apple doesn’t allow iDOS in the App Store, you can still grab it from Cydia for your jailbroken iPhone 4, iPod Touch 4 or iPad. It is available on Cydia by the name of DOSPAD.

Download DOSPAD from Cydia to run Windows 3.0 on iPad.

We have heard rumours before of Sony Ericsson working on a PlayStation + Phone device and was also rumoured that it will run on the Android OS.

Engadget managed to dig this out and have posted a few details that the PlayStation Phone indeed exists and will be available in the market soon.

PlayStation Phone packs some impressive specifications and will run on Ginmgerbread (Android 3.0). The device which Engadget tried had 1GHz Qualcomm MSM8655, 512MB of RAM, 1GB of ROM and a 4.1-inch screen. It also has a long multitouch touchpad in the center along with the usual PlaySation control buttons. This phone won’t have a Memory Stick slot, but it does have a MiroSD slot in it.

This is still a prototype so we doubt if it will be announced anytime this year. Sony Ericsson could release it by early next year.

Gaming phones have existed before, like the Nokia N-Gage, but I’m sure Sony Ericsson won’t want the PlayStation Phone to die out like that. It’s only a matter of time which will tell if Android devices are capable enough to run games on par with the iPhone.
