Hi Marc,

I'm the maintainer of cumulus and we have never dealing with the Mio 
C230. ATM cumulus is only runable on Linux OS and the current hardware 
devices are the Nokia Internet tablets N800/N810 by using the Qt 4.x C++ 
Class library from Trolltech. Qt will also support Windows Mobil in 
future Releases But I don't know the current state. From my point of 
view a Windows port is not so easy to realize, if you don't have a 
deeper knowledge about Qt and Cumulus. And it needs some time to do the 
portage. Therefore I would  discourage you to do it.

Greetings Axel

http://www.kombitz.com/2007/10/31/how-to-unlock-mio-c230/)
| .  Apparently the C230 runs a version of Windows, and can probably run  
| QT.
|
| So here are my questions:
|
| 1) has anyone tried something like this?
| 2) do you see any obvious problems I might encounter?
