android & Microsoft & vice versa

I was wondering (sorry for sounding stupid); if you can put android into a microsoft phone, can you put microsoft into a Dell Mini 5?
I've been trying to find some site to answer this but I think the best place to answer this is here.
Thanks

AFAIK windows mobile isn't open source. So the kernel code is not available.
Android however is open source so you can download its code to port it to other devices.

I appreciate your answer. While patiently waiting for the HD2, this Dell Mini 5 is now being shown, now I'm a Windows man (?) & the Dell being Android which is kinda new, I use Google search. With this in mind am I already familiar with Android???
I hope you understand my dilemma, simply put am I already using Android?
I don't like Bing I use Google search.
Lastly am I waiting for a Windows phone or should I be getting the Android (Dell Mini 5)???
(Lots of questions but again Thanks).
This is driving me crazy!

I hope I understand your question. Android is a very user-friendly OS, so it's not important if you're familiar with it.
If you buy an HD2, there will be android available for it in future and maybe also windows phone 7 series.

I don't understand your question. Do you want to ask if you are already using Android when you use Google search?

Again, I suggest you buy the HD2, it's a great device!

No problem, you're welcome.
Let me know if you have any more questions.

Thank you, you did understood my questions.
I've been following the 'Leo" for a very long time but since then new apparatuses have arrived & all this talk with Android, I just wanted to make sure that by the time the HD2 gets here it would still be proper to buy.
You have calmed my nerves & waiting for the HD2 is "still" at the top of my list. Its been awhile but good things come to those who wait.
Again Thank you

I figure here is the best place to say this, Android is lagging in so many ways I'd be a fool to go there. The Dell Mini 5 looks good but the Android really is lacking. I truely hope Windows can get themselves into the cloud as quick as possible. Regretfully the HD2 isn't allowed there (WIN7) & to wonder how long before another phone would be developed with regards to the mighty HD2 makes me accept the HD2 & use it for the lenght of time until the WIN7 becomes usable, concidering this is a new decade with new ideas.
I don't think I will have any regrets doing this.
Thanks.
Hope this makes sense to you.

[Q] Help choosing tablet between Toshiba Folio 100 and Advent Vega & clones

Hi all. I´m new here, I´ve used the Search but I couldn´t fine any post comparing these tablets nor here nor under their respective sub-forums.
I´m searching for a new tablet (my first tablet was a crappy chinese Mid V7 mounting a Via wm8650) and my budget is a bit limited. I wouldn´t spend more than 200€ or a little more, that´s around 300$.
The thing is, I´ve got the chance to get one of the above tablets for a reasonable price but i´m not sure which one to pick.
I can get the toshiba in an auction for less than 200€, 2nd hand. And a mobii point of View new for 210€. I´ve read the forums here, about the Toshiba and the Advent Vega (as the PoV seems to be a clone) and still, I cannot decide.
Not sure the toshiba is another clone of the Advent vega, but it really looks like. I see no big differences apart from the 16GB of storage on the Tosihiba versus the 4GB on the PoV.
So here are my questions,
¿Are both tablets basically the same one? ¿Are they able to run the same customized rooms, like the Vegacomb etc...?
¿Which one is more reliable, if I can use that term? ¿Which one is easier to root/customize/update with new roms etc...?
To sum up, ¿which one would you pick?
Thanks!

Sorry to bother but I´d really appreciate any help here.
i´m running out of time as both auctions I´m following for the Toshiba end tonight, and I really don´t want to pick the wrong tablet.

Hi guys I was just wondering if anyone could give me a recommendation on which laptop or desktop you think I should get. I'm deciding from either laptop or desktop. Now as far as specs go, it doesnt really matter I just want a new computer thats new and awesome. But any ideas would be much appreciated.

asking for best laptop in phone forum??wow..
from the ARC

I agree lol weird question to ask on a phone forum, but ill bite. Okay I recommend a desktop as they are alot easier to upgrade and manage. As for specs, give me an idea of what your going to be doing with the PC?

Also the best laptop or desktop will depend on the usage you are planning to give. Are you just going to browse the Internet, Games, develop app, is it to carry around, to leave it at home.
A good laptop will depend a lot on your needs. Anyway check dell.com, hp.com or my favorite laptop brand lenovo.com

Android on Windows Tablet and Computers

Wanted to share for all the XDA user.. Enjoy..
Friends,
I cant stop cursing myself for not purchasing Android tabs instead of 2 Windows tab Asus Transformer Book & Dell Venue Pro I own. I like all the feature except the very limited games and apps that I can access from my Windows tab.
Before I change my mind, Bingo... one of my friend help me out to install Android OS on my tab! He just took 15 minutes to do it for me. Pretty cool huh?
Anybody who is in the same situation, you can reach out to my friend at [email protected] & the person told me that he can install in any windows computers, tablet, etc....
