When do you think we will see this, Android on HTC Leo ?(or why not...a similar phone from HTC but with Android ?)

Too Photoshop....
I won't rule out the possibility that someone may compile an android that will run in Leo... But given that Kaiser / Diamond port is still an in-progress (as far as I know)... I see it unlikely....

C' mon that is obvious photoshop. Other links are ancient.
I d not see point in paying ms licence for wm, and releasing android on the same device. Don't think it will happen (officialy)

is GIMP..in 1 minute... ..but this was not the idea.....
I am pretty sure that they will release a similar phone with Leo( from the hardware point of view ) but with Android as main SO. Anyway I also think that somebody form XDA will port this for HARET emulator....

It may be easier soon, to get android with HTC sence running on the HTC leo,
android v1.6 supports more screen resolutions, HTC Leo has a capacitive screen, and according to WMPoweruser it appears that it may also have a digital compass, so in theory it does sound like it could be a possibility.

I'm sure there will be some kind of Android port, though I believe that 1.6 or later must be ported, since I don't think the earlier ones supported WVGA displays.
As for Sense running on the Leo, it's probably not going to happen unless HTC releases a WVGA Android device running sense. The biggest problem would have to be the fact that Sense is presently for 320x480 displays, while the Leo is 480x800. So not only would it need to be scaled up, but it would also need to be resized for WVGA from VGA.

As others said, this is a very obvious photoshop.
To get to the point, however, don't hold your breath for a port of Android to the Leo. This is a very common misconception that people need to drop, but simply because it has the same hardware does not suddenly make it simple to port something, especially something like an entire operating system.
Look at the current crop of Android ports: All current HTC phones uses the same hardware, yet a single complete Android port has not been done yet. So far as I know, it's not even close.
If you want Android, then it's best to get an Android phone or wait for a model of the Leo which has Android. To purchase a WinMo device hoping Android gets ported is a lost cause.

It seems that we will have a real 1Ghz Android phone soon...

Ok, it looks REALLY great. If it's as fast as it looks, we may have a winner
http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/what.s-w...ow-wm7-and-wm8-are-going-to-fix-it-333536.php
What you should make a note of is the things that it improves upon from all the previous ui's of WM past. I'll wait for 8.
When is WM7 due? It's not until 2009 is it?
Detailed picture gallery here as well..
http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/06/is-this-windows-mobile-7/
I've gone thru the entire gallery and if its truly able to deliver on what it can do.. Its pretty much gonna be good light years jump from what WinMo and all other platforms short of the iPhone and still good 5 years ahead of the iPhone itself...
They are really going big on movement based gestures and some of the concept is truly remarkable.. like if you see lets say, a name on the browser search. One can then tap and hold on it and start "shaking" the phone/device which tells the device to do a "smart search" where it'll "rain" down a bunch of animated icons that settle down to show the various things/files/pictures/activities related to that name existing in your phone etc... what a simple yet ingenious concept.
Although, I must say that this will open more questions than answers to why did MS have to make this Super-Quantum leap from WM6 and not have given us a good progression to it in the form of already having released such interface in WM5 onwards??!!?? After all, this kind of technology and its implementation could not have just been put together overnight within the last 6 or lets say 12 months subsequent to the announcement/release of the iPhone...
Good Ol' boy wizards Mr. Gates and Balmer holding back as usual I guess...
Oh well.. better late than never.

Will Windows Mobile 7 be available as an upgrade to already existing phones? I just recently bought my tilt and am wondering if I will be able to run this when it comes out? Thanks in advance.
For tilt maybe, but I don't think my old prophet can carry the weight... There was no WM6 update, so why should there be one for 7.
Depends on the Device.
ya i was really greatful at&t baked us a wm6 rom for hermes (8525), is 100% stable and runs awesome, but i still can't wait to try some wm7 fresh from the kitchen goodness!
wonder if the unit specs will ramp up much?

I just wish we 6.1 owners can get this update but that's not going to happen.
well greats...for РРС ed. screens will be?
Dated Sep 26, why wait this long to put the screenshots up ? I wonder.....
We may not get "official" upgrades but the kind folks around here will probably find some use for it.
Looks pretty cool!
I do believe that the odds for a free upgrade to 6.5 is possible. Just like 6.0 was upgraded to 6.1, so should 6.1 be upgraded to 6.5.
The only thing that would stop it would be if the device is too slow to handle the new version. But you shouldn't hope for a free upgrade to WM 7
Not to go off-topic but it is dispointing that we might need another upgrade just to get the new mobile IE 6.0.
Most people are of the opinion that these screen shots are fakes - due to the OSX icons being used.
Also, the 6.5 will probably be required for the new IE because of the HTML rendering engine also being used for Pocket Outlook, XML reading, etc.
I *believe* 6.5 should run fine on the current generation of HTC handsets... but WM7 is designed for the "next generation" of handsets - google nVidia's Tegra chipset to learn about this.

Well, that's a pretty good reason, isn't it?

Not only that, but the battery and signal strength indicators are transposed on the 2 shots, and it looks nothing like the preview screens of WM7 we've seen. Also, MS like screen layouts to have a logical progression, and that honeycomb layout is rather... chaotic.
It's a photoshop, and not the best on either.
Fake
Fakes for me too
And it's even more simple than that : since when Microsoft put the phone function of these devices in the first place ? Putting Microsoft Media Player in the center of the screen is more correct lol
But there is a lot of other reasons and the first one is : what a new version of Windows Mobile and the first roms are not on XDA ? Impossible, XDA is the best !
I'm making a WAD2 theme based off the second screenshot... it should be done this weekend. (or at least a beta version).

Huge stash of HTC Android codenames found within 2.1 ROM

You know that leaked HTC Sense ROM with Android 2.1 underneath? Well, somebody did some digging and found a wild stack of HTC Android handset codenames buried within. It starts in the realm of the familiar, with mentions of Dragon, Passion, Dream and Hero, but then it starts to get a little wild. Here's the full list: Bahamas, Bravo, DesireC, Dragon, Dream, Espresso, Halo, HeroCT, HeroC, Hero, Huangshan, Incredible, Legend, Liberty, Memphis, Paradise, PassionC, Passion, Sapphire and Supersonic. Pretty wild, right? There's no telling what exactly this list implies, other than the fact that Passion and Dragon are indeed on the books, and that HTC's naming department can really let the superlatives fly, but we're sure all will be made clear over the next year or two.

With HTC having had announced their intentions on diversifying their portfolio to include a balance mix of Android and Windows Mobile devices, we're assuming this will roughly translate to a 1:1 ratio of Microsoft and Google operating systems. The latest leak inside the Android 2.1 ROM for HTC points out to a slew of 20 new Android-based devices. If the ratio of 1:1 is indeed correct, it would be assumed that HTC will probably make it out to the market with 10-20 new Windows Mobile handsets as well, considering sometimes not all handsets are released to the market due to carriers or other roadblocks.
Here are the Android codenames: Bahamas, Bravo, DesireC, Dragon, Dream, Espresso, Halo, HeroCT, HeroC, Hero, Huangshan, Incredible, Legend, Liberty, Memphis, Paradise, PassionC, Passion, Sapphire and Supersonic. At any rate, 20 new devices--for one platform alone--is a lot to digest!

Newest Nokia WP7 leak.

Here is a little snippet from the article that you can find HERE
“Eldar Murtazin, the eternal Nokia antagonist, claims to have the inside scoop on Nokia’s current Windows Phone device plans while getting an early hands-on with a prototype. Besides demonstrating a natural extension of the Nokia naming strategy to accommodate the new Windows Phone devices, Eldar tells us that model W7 is built around an X7 hardware base while the new W8 handset is a variant of Nokia’s N8 cameraphone (conceptualized in the above pic). According to Eldar, all of Nokia’s WP prototypes are built upon Qualcomm chipsets per Microsoft’s requirement (and Nokia’s dismay). The W7 model is currently being used in-house for development purposes and will likely be the first to market, according to Eldar, with an 8 megapixel autofocus camera and flash.”
In the article you can see information about Dual core also, i mean if they dont put out dual core, they are gonna loose it.
I'm waiting for

let me know when it comes out.
windows 7 on nokia phones is a good thought! But I think they should also have android phones...
I bet enthusiasts will install Android on the WP7 phones once they are out
The touchscreen and 2.X-hype has killed a lot of other features in cellphones. What happened to the real xenon based flash? Today, only Nokia use them in their cellphones and i H-A-T-E slowbian.

Well kinda agree with you
just say, i love android more.
Nice phones though Look nicer than their Symbian devices
Nokia could well be the solution to embracing the average consumer to WP7!
Still have my 3310 to this very day and it works 100% as well (despite pretty hard abuse - dropped down a full flight of stairs, case broke but easily replaced back in the day with a massive variety of available aftermarket ones)

[Idea] devPhone - from PowerUsers, for PowerUsers

First off, this is by no means "a thing" as im looking for people who understand, support and might help me with this idea
"The Struggle is real"
for me choosing my next android device is a pretty hard effort as im getting disappointed by various points:
-illogical choices of design: even if i find a decent device to consider as my next one, there is always something that will make no sense to me and bug me, but only after i have purchased that device
-poor development due to unavailable sources: a major requirement when i choose an android device is that it has good dev support and my previous devices have proven this point to an extend, where a nice new android version comes out and the oem no longer supports it: the new version can be ported,but some things that were closed source only work properly in stock roms (which mostly suck)
-ridiculous oem pricing and their visionary software addons:
every device by big oems is overpriced and is bloated and promoted with things that often are not unique at all and can easily be used on every phone
of course the price depends on a lot of factors but in my opinion every oem device can easily be a 100 euros cheaper while still being profitable, as small
oems easily show
"The perfect android smartphone?"
-"supersize my phone, please":
of course also size is a debatable aspect of a phone as some prefer size while others prefer compactness
i prefer efficiency and for me that means a device that can easily be used with one hand, fit in my pocket and
does not waste a lot of surface not covered by screen
-"whith a small phone comes small hardware"
every oem releases a mini version of their newest flagship, but that mini version has exactly nothing to do with its big brother
there are examples where this might not be the case(xperia z1 compact), but then, there are other aspects that make that phone inconsiderable
There cannot be a device that is perfect for every user, but i think that most users can agree on a large amount of aspects that fit their needs, especially if they are powerusers
Conclusion: i would like to collaborate with people that have the knowledge of building distributing and supporting a project based on my idea: the devPhone:
