No. J2ME would mean reimplementing everything, so you won't have rockbox anymore

So in what format would it be ported to if it were to be ported as an application?

This question doesn't really make sense, so I'll just explain what rockbox as app means. Its a way of compiling rockbox so that drivers are replaced with calls to the native operating system it runs on. For instance, when you compile it under linux, you get calls to SDL, which are then translated into native API calls by libsdl.

Yes.

I read the objective of the Project is to "Convert Rockbox to an application that runs on a Windows, Linux or Apple based cellphone, PDA, iPhone, or similar device..."
But will it be able to run on a Symbian Target, for example, the Nokia N95 or N96? Or is it not feasible?
