I wish there was a possibility. However their current target seems to be far from simple pocket pc's.
Nice. If only it could be available till "standard" PPC with 320x240 resolution...
Man this would be sweet on my TILT.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MobileAndEmbedded
It looks like that they're targeting those UMPC devices such as the HTC Shift. So I have the feeling that it won't work on pocket pc devices, sadly
Yes, I would love to see Ubuntu on all 3 of my htc's. All of my computers are ubuntu except for my htc's.
The interface sure looks nice.... anyone made a shell like it i would use it...
Any new news on this?

If you check the wiki you'll see that it isn't supported anymore.

Probably everybody already knows that Microsoft was working on totally new Windows mobile version what will have multi touch gestures and fully revamped UI something like Vista style.
The latest news is that it will be shown off at Mobile World Congress next month with expected release date late this year. I hope to see some leeks very soon in these forums
You can read full article here.
Cheers, whitealien
it could be very interesting, get it works on polaris
I'm scared that it'll be too heavy for the Polaris isn't it?
And no multi-touch for us, or am I wrong? Don't know if multitouch is possible with resistive technology :/
polaris cant even touch win7. we might get cooked ROMs with similar UI
Thank you for the news.
what he meant is be prepared to buy a new powerful device ...

Maybe it works perfect on de Polaris.
See with windows Vista en Windows 7
Windows 7 can easy on a light system with 1 GB memory.
I can't wait to test mobile 7 on my polaris

from what i know not even HTC LEO is confirmed to run it smoothly as it only meets minimum specs (and all devices below it cant run wm7)...
im gonna be looking for tegra devices...

sounds pointless, i'm sick of buying phone os's that need a quicker CPU than the average laptop.
for Universale , can work with WM7 or not? because i saw that 1g ram for ppc with With wm7...

A cook is someone who takes a Rom from one machine and alters it to work on another PDA. he will also sometimes add extra programs to make it better.

SO your saying: Windows 7 (PC) is ****?
I think i could agree,
As my desktop has:
Windows Vista Ultimate SP2
my new Laptop
Windows 7 Home Premium
and i have to say...
i like vista more
I think seven is better then vista,
but my favourite is win xp professional x64
Windows 7 Ultimate is the best experience I ever had!
I can flash very easy and all runs much faster and smooth than in Vista or even XP...

Can anyone clarify would it be even possible to get Android and Windows 8 running on the Asus Infinity?
Technically? Yes, I think so. The WinRT version of the surface uses Tegra 3, so it'd be like doing an Android SDK port.
Legally? Absolutely not. Asus didnt pay for the Infinity to be licensed for winRT. If it does get done, you certainly wont be hearing about it here.
Then again, that hasnt stopped the HD2 people from freely discussing and using WP7 here, so maybe I"m missing something.
Thanks thats good to know. Someone mentioned it that it is possible to have Android and Windows 8 on the Asus Infinity but I thought I would ask on here for clarification. Sounds like its the Tab to get with this possibility instead of a Win 8 Tab which everyone knows won't be long until there here also.

I'm not so sure about that. WinRT is closed source, so any attempts to get it working will be kludgy if the HD2's WP7 port (and Android SDK ports in general) is any indication. You'll probably have much better luck getting a native WinRT/Win8 tablet and hacking Android onto it.
Could definitely see Ubuntu working on it at some point though.

If history is any indication, we'll get Ubuntu. The TF101 got it natively, a TF201 native version is in progress, and if you dont mind a somewhat slow UI you could always run it in a chroot with root and vnc.

Nice, I'd love to run Ubuntu on this thing, especially if it runs nice with the dock. Then I basically have a netbook lol. I haven't really gotten into Ubuntu too much, but I'd love to try it. I have no room to install it on my laptop lol.

How much tablet-optimized is Ubuntu? Is there a difference between running Ubuntu and Windows 7 under a 10" FHD tablet? (apart from commandline and the obvious)

Depends entirely on how you have things set up, but in general Ubuntu isnt that great as a tablet OS unless your using Untiy which isnt exactly light on ram use. The appeal here is more for dock owners seeking a desktop like experience.
I guess it would be similar to Win7, since both would make use of on-screen keyboards but otherwise show a mouse oriented desktop.
Compared to Win8, its a bit kludgy since a native install of Ubuntu would have to reboot into Android for a tablet UI whereas Win8 has metro. A chroot install would be able to easily drop in and out of the desktop, but then you'd have to use VNC which means the desktop UI would be kinda slow. Good enough for, say, office or photo editing but not for viewing videos or playing games.
What about Gentoo?

The only reason No on the RT is that you can't disable Secure Boot and you would have to find an ARM compiled version of Ubuntu.
The first reason more than anything else will keep you from doing much of anything.
Well... to give you SOME hope: http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/11/linux-foundation-secure-boot/
Looks like it may actually come to fruition at some point in the (near?) future.

This is great news considering Ubuntu is already being compiled for ARM devices. e.g. Their new mobile operating system.
Once it drops, it should only be a matter of time before someone cooks it up for the RT... :fingers-crossed:

Well, at least there is SOME light at the end of the tunnel.
Just because a secure boot-compatible segnature is present doesn't mean it will work; there's no way to add your own signing keys to the Surface RT's SB certificate store, so unless your Linux installer is either signed by MS or by another authority that is trusted out of the box, it still won't work.
Also, there's a big difference between recompiling a user-mode application for ARM and recompiling an entire OS. You need a compatible board support package for your processor and hardware. It's possible (and there are already Linux images that run on the Tegra3) but it's not trivial.

I dont see the problem with it tbh. The surface is a genuinely nice piece of hardware, its just some people dont like windows 8.
Now a hackintosh on the surface would be very interesting albeit incredibly unlikely.
I wonder if one of the various android x86 projects would consider a surface pro version.

looks like a fair bit of input latency there, very similar to what I see with remote desktop as opposed to running on the machine. Either that or poor drivers. Either one is possible

I would class that under poor driver support which I already said....
OSX does support touchscreen anyway.
my surface pro cannot boot from Windows 7 and Linux USBs, it still proceeds to windows 8. (im trying to put windows 7 on it or Linux)
but I can on my Recovery USB. i'm using the down volume method, and tried the advance boot thingy and chose USB method.
So i doubted if my win7 and linux usbs are not bootable, but they both boot well on my other pc.
I also have that EFI boot disabled. im not exactly a noob with tweaks and software installation, i just dont know why my surface pro wont accept those bootable usbs so i can start installing them.
please help.
That's great and all, but I can't find the Marvell drivers for ubuntu at all..
Where would somebody get an image for Windows 10 Mobile if they wanted to try to install it on the Shield? Been curious about this, and not a fan of Android as much as I thought, but don't like Apple.
Nowhere. Someone would had to make a ROM with Windows 10 and I don't think that there were any ports of Windows on ARM for anything other than HTC HD2 few years ago.

Not possible. Anyway Windows 10 Mobile is dead and boring to use compared to Android.

Much too difficult and complex. It would require not only porting Win10, but also the drivers/firmware to make it work with the Shield's specific hardware. Which don't exist, so you would have to do that from scratch? Getting it to work would probably take hundreds of hours, if ever. Plus, Windows is closed source, so it's probably not even legal to port it.
Much easier to just buy a WIn10 device, if that is what you want.
