Wow! Just wow. Fabrice Bellard is exceptional as usual. It is funny to check what percentage of one's friends (or relatives) can appreciate the pure awesomeness of it :-)

Alas, it doesn't run on my Nexus One ... :-(

I did and yes, it loads :)

Agreed - Fabric Bellard is one of the most awesome hackers around. QEmu, ffmpeg, a tiny (100KB) c compiler, and having computed the most digits of Pi for a while in 2010 using a single desktop PC. Truly amazing.
