Hello, I would like to ask if this could be possible:

Could be possible to run OSX on an arm device??
Understand some problems such as that all the closed source software is compiled for different cpu architecture but I was thinking we could implement a qemu based module in the kernel to do cpu virtualisation.

Also we could write the drivers for graphics, sound etc!!!

Could it be possible???

Technically it would probably be possible but the amount of work required would exceed a small hobbyist project like this by far. Legally it is an interesting question since as far as I know OS X is licensed to run on "Apple-branded computers". Running it on an ARM-based iPhone or iPad would probably fulfill the "Apple-branded" requirement, but whether these devices can be called a "computer" might possibly be a lengthy legal debate.
