Maemo 5 in Magic

it cant be just me..
but the Maemo 5 in nokia N900 is linux based. and so are our magics, would it be possible to install maemo in our magics? the correct drivers for everything should already be in the kernel, right?
anyone else interested in trying this out as soonn as nokia releases the n900!

wince also runs on arm hardware...

Well it doesn't support the Magic's process fist off, second it's designed for a 800x480 resistive screen. There's more but those 2 reasons alone are enough. BTW Fremantle has been out for some time test running on beagleboards for some time.

Not likely, I like Android but it's in no way better. Maemo 5 is full Linux not Java based Linux.

I don't know what is coming for android, but check REALLY this out!!

Maemo 5 runs off of a RM Cortex-A8 processor capable of scaling the CPU from 600 to 1Ghz..... Even so, Maemo isn't all the cool.

Let's wait to see how will be the X3.. I hope the android developers are taking ideas from this

It runs on the same processor as the iphone.

Seen that. Belong to the maemo forum for awhile have owned a N800 since release. I wouldn't even own a magic if nokia didn't drag their feet on the launch of the n900.

Is the evolution.. Man wouldn't use rocks first to create fire if they had invented the lighters. I WANT ONE TOO AND A NEW TAMAGOSHI

Yeah but it was a long time wirhout any kind of update. No info for a year or so makes you wonder. If it gets to canada any time soon might sell this and get one if they are the $$ there supposed to be.

Not at all just saying that its in no way better than a full Linux distro. Done get me wrong at all I really like my Magic it's just not the same level as the N900.

Windows 7 + Cotulla

Hi Mr. Cotulla
What you think about Windows 7
in 02 xda mini 2.

i think you mean windows phone 7 series, and that would be awesome but you would need to at least wait for a few months before being able to even see if the magician is capable of running it.

noway it needs too much ram and processor speed

we don't know what it need, the only thing we know it needs is a capacitive touchscreen (which we don't have)

you may check it on there

there is no maybe for processor speed and graphics acceleration is mandatory

Cotulla is better programmer.
i think He can. Edit or Change resource
Like W.m 6.5

HTC HD 3..!!!

Well lot of rumors goin on the net, anyone have any idea if if HD 3 is for real..???
Well there are loads of sites which give you the detaisl when googled, this is 1 of them
http://www.fonearena.com/blog/2010/01/26/htc-hd3-specs-leaked.html

It's a fake.
The announced SnapDragon is the dual core version if I'm not wrong.
It's just a dream concept

But many websites are confirming it..!!!

woow , good!

this is fail =/

Yes, the new HD3 will be complete magic with WP7 :
-no copy and paste, YAY !
-no multitasking, YAY !
-no microSD card, YAY !
Everybody can use it, even 90 yeard old grandmas !

I am afraid he is right.
New WP7 reminds me of crappy iPhone interface.
Instead of getting more features and opportunities they're copying Apple style.
Hopefully with WP7.3 we will get copy and paste and with 7.4 maybe multiasking.
I will go for Android when I will change my HD2.

The first item on the list says "1.5 GB Qualcomm Snapdragon.."
ZOMG!!11!! A PHONE PROCESSOR WITH A GIG AND A HALF OF COMPUTING POWER
..what? Does that make sense to you? No. Use your head next time, man

phone processors are at 1 ghz and so far maximum processing power is 1.3 ghz overclocked so its not out of the realm of possibility

I think the point was it says GB not ghz
Edit: Also if it was an official "document" or whatever it would say "Windows Phone Series 7" or whatever the official name is, not "Windows Mobile 7"

Those specs are obviously fake...1200x800 is not a supported resolution.

I think it's a fake ... but I hope so much that is true!
If the HD3 will keep the promises .. for me it will be the first PDA without the physical keyboard!
PS: Just this HD3 can make me leave my Touch Pro 2!

Seems like a rumor for now...but it could show up in the Fall.

I'm sure there will be a successor to the HD2 running Windows Phone 7 Series, but I think they will choose a different name than HD3 considering it's a completely new OS. And it will definitely have a screen res of 800x480, no higher.

It's possible that the forthcoming HTC Obsession will actually be a merger between the HD and Diamond product lines - in other words that there won't be a direct successor to the HD2 at all.
And yes, the "HD3 specs" posted earlier are a very obvious fake. We now know that WP7S doesn't support resolutions higher than 800x480; we also know that no WP7S device will be able to use a removable memory card. I really wish people would stop creating threads about these "specs" - there must have been nearly a dozen different threads about them, now. They don't get any less fake for being posted multiple times.

Well have been using HD2 for a while & was just curious, so just started this thread..!!!
Hope we get WM7 or Android sooner on HD2..!!!

800x4800 ? Wow, that's one hell of a resolution

Since when is processor speed measured in GB? And wow they gone really far for 1 generation. from DVD qualitity to 1080p.
Also everybody is talking about HD3. Where is TP3? I want to see some new HTC models with HW KB.
Also i wish that HTC would make some tegra models instead of qualcomm. Maybe then they will provide better drivers.

[Q] Windows on Gtab?

Will it be possible to put a version of windows on the gtab? I know they are working on linux with a distro of ubuntu, does anyone know if it is possible?
Dont get me wrong i love android but this is a powerful device and id like to squeeze all i can out of it

Considering that the Tegra 2 is a RISC CPU and to my knowledge the only Windows version that is written for RISC CPUs is WinCE I'm guess the answer to your question is yes and no. Yes technically an OS made by MS in the Windows "family" (WinCE) could be ported to the gtab but realistically the kind of windows variant that I think you're looking for (XP/Win7) no. And you're right this is a powerful piece of hardware... way more that is necessary for WinCE so on al counts it's doubtful that windows will ever make it onto the gtab.

Actually I believe if someone can rip the proper files from the dual booting 10" viewsonic this might be possible. I would have to look at the internals, but I would assume they are the same. I know it is running win7 starter and I believe Android 1.6. I was actually gonna look at that this weekend. Problem is with the small internal memory might be worth it to invest in a 32gb chip.

Actually there is a reason that it is running android 1.6. 1.6 has a compiled version that runs on x86 architecture.
No dice on win 7 on this puppy sorry

Scratch that. I just looked at the specs and they are not even close other than the screen. Well it was a thought.

The other tablet is uses Intel Atom CPU, hence why it works, would have been nice if that tablet had Android 2.2....but who wants Win7 when you got android....hahaha

I agree about android over win, but I always like to have the ability to. I have my linux box w/ a tiny Win7 partition. Course every time I log into it. I remember why I stopped using windows
Sent from my DROID2 using Tapatalk

The VS 10" multi-boot tablet has an Atom (x86) CPU and dual boots Windows 7 and Android 1.6 (IIRC).
The only thing vaguely like Windows that you MIGHT be able to get on the gTab will be some version of wince(and I do -- they're trying to call it Windows Mobile now since wince was so awful, but it sounds like it hasn't helped).

I'd actually like to see how well WinMo 6.5, like my old touch pro had, would run on a g-tab. I really enjoyed that old phone.

[Q] Can the G Tablet mimic the Viewpad 10?

Hey All. Just a quick thought I had. With the hardware specifications of the G Tablet, is it powerful enough to mimic the Viewpad 10 and dual boot win (XP of 7) and android? I know that the processors are quite different, but would that make it impossible?
Just a thought.
Thanks,
Scott

No. Yes.
What would make it possible: Swapping the guts of the Viewpad 10 w/the gTab...
Viewpad 10 only run Android 1.6 anyways, which is VERY old, as that is the only version of Android ATM that supports x86 processors...

You know, my 1st thought was no, bcuz of different instruction set, but here's an idea: run Windows under qemu under Android on Gtab. It'd probably be dog slow, but...

Not possible yet, you wouldn't want to try to run Windows under an emulator, trust me.
However, a Tegra 2/ARM build of Windows 7 is apparently in the works - see this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10011358#post10011358
Also, there is apparently a Windows CE build already for Tegra 2, I'd check out the developer forums at NVidia if you're really curious. I don't know why anybody would want to run Win CE on their G Tab, but it'd be a cool hack if you felt like doing it. Drivers for touchscreen would be an issue of course - you'd have to write them for the G Tablet touchscreen (which will be at least vaguely plausible after the kernel source release this week), or find something compatible out there. Basically, a lot of work for no real return.
