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.
Clinton
Get a n900!
I think the time is near.
Linux Specific:
* Added support for ARM processor architecture (with TI OMAP3 and NVIDIA Tegra 2 as reference)
* Added OpenMAX Video Acceleration support (requires OpenMax IL compatible hardware, like Tegra2

The above was stated on changelog for the new stable XBMC release.
I am not expert on these things but is it really time for XBMC on Android tablets and phones?
This would be a great app for android,can anyone express their opinions in regard? Can it be done?
I would love to see this for my Xperia X10a.
How would xbmc bring anything worthwhile to a mobile platform? Don't get me wrong, I love xbmc... On my tv.

In light of the upcoming Atrix 4G with their media hub, this would be perfect for a portable xbmc which you can take anywhere with you (especially when you have to travel).
Open the doors and bring forth XBMC........ please?

Those are two very specif SOC reference designs with limited availability in todays market. The Nexus One for example runs the MSM SOC, and Tegra2 phones were just announced this week.
It chapped my hide to find out that there are nearly full blown XBMC installs available now for iOS devices like the iPad and iPhone 4. How can there not be one in development for the Tegra 2 with existing tablets using that processor already available for purchase for less than $400...?
Yeah, with the elocity a7 @ $299 boasting a tegra 2 and 512 mb of RAM someone should jump on it.
*bump*
Do want.
Are there any news?
the majority of the libraries aren't a problem in a distribution sense, the NDK has support for that. the problem is the core ones, libc etc. Those which means a custom compiler. This won't do for market inclusion I bet. You can surely do a custom rom and just use the standard arm compiler but it would never be acceptible on market.

just a thought what if it is coded for android live?
Ios version works really we on my iPhone 4. I was completely gob smacked to find out there wasn't a version that could run on my android tablet. Make no sense at all that to open source system dosen't have It while the Analy retentive ios has a fully fledged functional version.
I wouldn't mind some news on this either. I had an Ubuntu 10.04 box, built from spare computer parts, serving as my XBMC hub. I wouldn't mind a smaller more portable version.
I'd love an update too.
It won't work until someone compiles all the libraries XBMC depends on (it's a lot) for Android.
Someone had said they were going to do that, but that was about a month ago and no one has chimed in since then.
sassafras
wonder if they re doing it.....
i use xbmc on my apple tv 2 (the thing is USELESS without it...) and would really love to have this on either my phone or an android tablet if/when I decide to buy one.
Consider me confused as well at how ios has xbmc yet android doesnt? really???
I have been waiting for this for a long time
I have been waiting for this since before they released it for ios devices. I would pay good money for the ability to run xbmc on my android devices! If I knew how I would have given it a try but maybe someone who is talented at these things could do there magic. If there is anyone out there working on this it would be fantastic for all of us Android/XBMC users. I just think it suits the android devices better anyways bigger screens faster processors more freedom. Thanks and Please!!
Hi guys,
Just use this as info, but Optimus 3D is a dual core Cortex. Device shipped with 2.2. Expected update to 2.3.
Multicore support for Android starts from Honeycomb (3.0).
Check where the problem is
It all runs on Linux, which is multicore.
Does it mean that the android OS runs on one core, while apps can use 2 cores on 2.3 and older?
Umm yes and no. Android is a type of Linux but no the phone version 2.x and lower don't have multicore support. As of now only 3.0 does. When it comes out later this year 2.4 might have support as it is suppost to be 2.3 and 3.0 combined for phones since from. GOOGLE 3.0 will never be on phones for tablets only

Pretty much this. 2.4 (the updated version of Honeycomb) is due to have dual core optimisation.
I do hope so, since I don't wanna buy a $600 phone to get lots of power loss

Not quite sure...
You can run Windows 98 on a dual/quad core, but it's pretty useless. Isn't the same with Froyo/GBread ?

No, not really the same at all. Android has had SMP support since the first versions I think. Honeycomb is just optimizing the Dalvik VM to better utilize the multi-core CPUs. The support has been there, but until now, there hasn't been reason to optimize it as much since all Android devices had been single core. How much of a boost this gives us will really remain to be seen.

http://help.lockergnome.com/windows2/98SE-dual-core--ftopict485285.html :
"98 will run on a dual-core CPU. The 98 kernel was not written with
multi-processor operation in mind so it will not perform the necessary
housekeeping and organization to activate both cores and allocate
processes to them. So 98 running on a dual-core will only use 1 of
the cores."
Of course, Core i7 changed lots of things so it will definitely not work with it
BTW, I also have a Core i7
Pretty sure that the poster a few before me is correct, dual-core is and always has been activated as part of the linux architechture, but Honeycomb (and probably LG's official 2.3 upgrade) will provide further optimisations.
Google I/O: Developers Want Android 4.0 'Ice Cream
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2385113,00.asp
Alright - patient, patient - soon HoneyComb will be publicly available for every Android tablet (strongly advised by Google - 3.0 needs DUAL CORE!)
Okkk - My next tablet will be Asus Transformer and will be probably cheaper than $399 maybe $299 !
I appreciate your optimism, but I think Ice Cream is a while away. Honeycomb isn't even ready for the mainstream. I doubt Google is going to double down on unfinished operating systems but who knows. With their whole "Beta" idea we could have four or five operating systems running around in the wild. Oh, wait... And don't forget about the role our device manufacturers play. Don't mistake my pessimism as a dismissal. I think we'll have our dessert, and eat it too. Just maybe a little farther down the road.
Or, if you watched the fireside presentation you would see that we are never getting HC released. ICS is scheduled for Q4, which could be Dec 30th, and that just means launched on a device, does not mean AOSP.
This is a dark year for tablets. nVidia and the l4t work is probably going to be our most exciting project in the next 2-3 weeks.

Linux For Tegra
Uhmm isn't Android 2.2 being already Linux? So Android OS is not Linux? someone corrects me please!

Correct me if i am wrong, but i think there is a confusion here.
Android OS as linux OS are both based on Unix code(which sometimes is also called Linux).
So when they say that there will be Linux for Tegra they are saying: Will pass from AndroidOS(unix/linux)Code to LinuxOS(Unix/Linux) Code.
Again, i am not an expert, but this is what i understood from various posts.
Gtablet has Tegra CPU and runs Android 2.2 (which is Linux) - so what is it being told here L4T "Linux 4 Tegra"?
Yeah kinda confuse but the Tegra is already being used by Linux - what's up with this - LOL - good time waster though !!

To be more precise, Android is a software stack comprised of an OS, middleware (not much in Android since that stuff is part of OS) and applications. The OS in Android's case has a kernel aimed at mobile phone use based on Linux.
Android is not Linux, just like Linux is not UNIX, but it is derived from it.
Don't know offhand WHICH Linux was the base for Android, but I would lean towards Slackware, Debian, SUSE or Red Hat since they were the big dawgs in 2003.
Intel just released the C++ Compiler for android for free..
It's probably interesting for some devs out there!

Also notice it is for intel processors (ATOM) only. 98% of Android devices are ARM based.
So most devs will not be using it on most android products (Arm Based).
It would certainly be easier to list Atom based android devices then arm based devices.
Cheers all

I've been using Android-x86 4.1.2 on some netbooks with houdini arm emulation layer but still confused why Intel is less friendly to the Android-x86 project. Just for information, if you plan to work on x86 architecture, Android-x86 AOSP project is the best source beside Intel for now.
