RADIXS Revolutionizes Mobile Computing with MXI - Motion eXperience Interface : Software : MobileMag

I can't figure this out. Well, I mean, I have ideas. But they claim to allow "applications written for Windows, Linux, Java, Palm and 32-bit console games to work immediately on mobile devices."

Ok, so call me a skeptic. Windows and Linux. Fine, it's thin client. Palm? Wait, that's already a mobile device. Huh? 32bit console games? You mean XBox, PS2, and Gamecube. Right. Probably not.

Going to their website helped even less. It almost implied their "OS" would work on current devices. I say again... huh?

Certainly, it's interesting. Why wouldn't anyone want to play Halo 2 on their phone, after all. It would be nice, though, if there was at least some technical description somewhere that explained what they were really trying to do or what they really meant, though. Is it just a thin client? Is it the equivalent of Virtual PC for ARM (what seems to be the most common chip for small devices these days)? Or what?
