Amazing stuff. I can imagine a cell phone with a VM for my Work phone and one for my Home phone all on the same device. Better yet, think about what could happen when you get a new phone, save the VM to a microSD card and take the microSD and plug it into your new phone and all of your numbers and config (and mobile OS) go with it.
Sounds almost too far fetched to believe, but then again, so was vMotion the first time I heard it.
