When you start seeing an operating system that’s nearly 15 years old put onto what many consider the greatest phone they’ve ever used, you might call the abomination an omen for The End of Days. Any minute now, we’ll see fire and brimstone coming down from the skies, rivers and seas boiling, fourty years of darkness, earthquakes, volcanoes, the dead rising from the grave, human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria… (Bonus points for naming the quote). Although, considering this is all happening on an emulator, you might still have some time to repent for your sins before Win95 finds its way onto an iPhone proper. The performance right now is pretty shoddy (5-10 minutes to boot up), so we’ll have to wait to see how it fares on the 3GS.

Thanks Na!
