3rd party software dev

Hi all, first post here. I don't even own a M6 yet but I should be getting it in a few weeks

I have a CS degree and I'm a hacker at heart (hacker, not cracker). The first question that springs to mind is - has anyone managed to hack the M6 firmware to run 3rd party apps? I'd love to use my M6 to show scrollable Google Maps images for example (loaded before traveling).

I know the firmware isn't open but if the iPhone has been hacked, why not the M6? I realize the iPhone is more popular so it gets more attention, but why not?

GO FOR IT!!!!!
im sure we would all like to see that, but the meizu m8 is coming out soon and that will be able to alredy to dat on the move :P

Well, the iphone is also more powerful...

if it had more buttons it would awesome to have some ROM emulation... but it's hard the way it's set up

that's because the iphone uses a modified version of osx, sadly i don't think the m6 os supports that kind (or any kind) of addons...

if you are up to it, maybe you could start a rockbox port. i know i would if i knew how.
