[Q] Dual Boot Windows Phone 7 OS and Android?

My big question is, is this possible? Is there anything about the new Windows Phone 7 OS that would keep us from being able to dual boot it on an Android Phone (specifically the Droid X)? I'm never going to switch over to Windows Phone 7, but I wouldn't mind enjoying some of it's features occasionally.

Hi All, This is probably a really stupid question, but i've been searching trying to find the answer, is it possible to install windows 7 or any other OS on this or any other android tablet?
Thanks in advance for any help,

The yet to come out Viewsonic "Viewpad" tablet is to be dual boot Win7 or android...although differentprocessor. Hopefully they will do better than the g tablet with their android os overlay.

Should I stop thinking of all these tablets like it's a laptop, that the OS can be changed from Android, to Windows, to Linux? or is it basically the same as a normal PC?
Thanks Again

Would forget about windows but (a version of) Linux should be doable. Possibly CE6 but I don't think anyone is doing anything with it.

This is not an x86/x64 CPU so the OS has to support Tegra specifically.

These tablets have a different processor in them, so, no, they cannot run any Window OS except Microsoft's mobile OS, a.k.a. Windows Mobile, a.k.a. Windows CE, etc. These tablets are more akin to mobile phones than general purpose desktop/laptop computers.

[Q] Boot android Honeycomb on standard laptop - is it possible?

I have done some searching but couldn't really find any good answers to my question.
I would like to know if it would be possible to have android honeycomb as the main boot os for my laptop which I would want to then link directly to my TV for the picture output.
Has anyone ever tried anything like this?
How do i go about it if it is possible, I have read about the android live CD boot for PC's but these look old, will they work for Honeycomb, and wouldn't it be better to have it directly running from the harddrive.
Another concern of mine is would honeycomb os on a PC use the mouse and keyboard inputs with no touchscreen being possible / available, and would the USB / cdrom, TV outputs, wireless and network cards etc all be recognised and useable by Honeycomb?

That's a very good idea, I'd like to know more about this

For such purpose (Android as TV set top box) I would rather use some Hardware like i.e. BeagleBoard. There's also an Android port available (http://code.google.com/p/rowboat/) which is currently running FroYo. I'm sure there will also be Gingerbread, Honeycomb, etc. in the future.

I would rather not purchase new hardware if I don't need to. I have this laptop doing nothing and want to put it to use this way if possible.

I would like to know the answer for this question too
i'm a fan of bigscreen
i plan to purchase acer iconia 6120 dual screen laptop if somehow i can manage to get honeycomb installed on standard laptop
or maybe later with windows 8
hmmm, yummy

I think Honeycomb still needs to use the touchscreen now and then, even with a keyboard and mouse. You might want to try Chrome OS, since that's designed for laptops.

err, acer iconia 6120 is a dual touchscreen laptop
you got laptop hardware but both touchscreen with virtual keyboard
thats why i brought up honeycomb, since its touch based
and windows 8 prolly in the future

Since a view weeks there is an Acer Aspire One with Win 7 Starter and Android as dualboot.
Maybe it is now possible to get Android on standard Notebooks?!
cu, Gurry

iam realy interessted in this, so umpup:
is it possible to run a honeycomb as main boot on a laptop? because why booting win and co if u just wanna check some emails, vistit some websites and i dont know ( yeah i know u can do this all with your smartphone, but wouldnt it be exiting to have it on your laptop too ? )

I have an old laptop and would love to have Android running on it, also my TV is running a customized version of Linux, i wonder if it would be possible to incorporate Android OS into it too. It's a Philips TV and some of their newer models are Android based.

Last weekend I got some Toshiba netbook (Nvidia Tegra chipset) on my hands running Froyo. A normal screen (no touch) and a keyboard just like normal netbooks. It was a pain in the a** to work with. I don't think Honeycomb will change that, since it's optimized for tablets. However, a combination of a touchscreen and a hardware keyboard would be nice, though.
Anyway, it should be possible to run Android on x86 devices, too, but I don't see any point for doing so. Why not just install Ubuntu?

Rooting Android Phones with OSX

If i run Windows 7 under Fusion then I should be able to root any android phones?
Yesterday I had trouble connecting an HTC Incredible so I had to use my win7 laptop but im thinking just keeping the Macbook.
Thanks!

[Q] Dual Boot Android and Windows 7 on Asus Transformer

Hello there,
I am not too sure if this is a vague questions however I was wondering if an Asus Transformer tablet can be made dual bootable with Android and Windows 7?
Has any one tried or thought of it or heard about it or if it do-able, please let me know.
Cheers,
Ashish

No. I believe our tabs run ARM, whilst Windows is coded to run on x86/64 architecture.

Thanks Chris, for your reply. is there a possibility to dual boot Android and Windows Phone 7 on Asus Transformer?
Thanks in advance,
Ashish

no WP7 is closed source. It also only supports 512 mb ram and a single core processor

It's exactly this sort of naive question that means Microsoft will able to sell more than 10 Windows 8 tablets.
It won't run Windows 7 because it runs ARM CPU. And Windows 8 tablets won't run windows applications for the very same reason.

Why do you guys want windows 7 on a tablet? I have played once with Win 7 tablet and it's pretty awkward though it's very nice to have the programs you use on your PC.
