There's good news for those who want to double the usefulness of their iPhone: a developer will soon release an application that will allow Apple's smartphone to run Windows Mobile.

Norwegian Erik Kristiansen has created a dual-boot application for the iPhone, similar to Apple's Boot Camp for its PCs. It allows users to run either Windows Mobile or the standard iPhone operating system. This isn't an emulator, and the two OSs can't run simultaneously.

Kristiansen gave a brief demonstration and interview at the myPhone2008 event:

The beta being demonstrated certainly appears to have the basic functionality of Windows Mobile, but details are scant. For example, it's not clear if Windows Mobile applications will be able to access the iPhone's entire internal storage, or only a partition.

This iPhone application is scheduled to be released in January of next year. Pricing is not yet known.

Naturally, it will not be available through the official App Store, as Apple has forbidden emulators and similar software to be sold through its store.

Over the past few months we’ve had to create a few iPhone mock ups for presentations. The problem we’ve encountered is the lack of resources to help us design something efficiently. Up until now we’ve used a nice PSD from 320480.com but we still found ourselves having to build out additional assets or heavily modifying bitmap based buttons and widgets.

Since we know we’ll be doing more of this, we created our own Photoshop file that has a fairly comprehensive library of assets – all fully editable.
