I was wondering if there is any chance in the near future to install IOS 4.3 on the XOOM as a dual boot ?

Seriously? WTH!!

NO

Are you kidding me?! What kind of a question is that???? No it won't happen ever!

This would be like replacing a ferarri engine with the guts from a Geo prism.

Long answer: Because of Apple's closed environment and non open source software, and also because of legality issues and such........
Short answer: No.

I don't think this is impossible at all. It won't be official or legal, but as Android was put on iPhones, I think the opposite is perfectly possible. One blog I read today even implied the possibility of the Apple A5 being the same processor as the A9 in the xoom, but I really don't know how correct that is.
The problem is that I don't see anyone bothering to do this, but I wish they would. It would be awesome to have access to some iOS-exclusive apps.

I dont think Apple would have any problems with this at all.

the A9 processor you're referring to is the Cortex-A9 processor, which is used for all dual core processors. all the new high end phones you see now are powered by ARM Cortex-A9 processor (including iP4, Atrix, Bionic, etc)
On top of the Cortex-A9 lies the SoC chip,
The A5 is an SoC developed by (intrinsity, samsung, apple)
The Tegra 2 is an SoC developed by NVIDIA
Hope that clears things up.

Apple is SkyNet?

This is one of the funniest threads I've seen. The only one that compares was the "Anyone want to trade my iPad 3G for your Xoom?" Like anyone would give up a Xoom for an iPad...

U might as well wait until some body ports over the miui rom over to the xoom if u like ios so much lol

And how, if I may ask?
The developer would need iOS source to start with. How about rewriting drivers, functions etc?
Android can be used on iOS devices but it doesn't mean the opposite could be possible.. The OSes are just so diffrent
..but yeah, it'd be cool to have a device open to ALL platforms and usable with them.

Maybe someday VMware can do this

WebOS on Droid Charge

With the announcement of webOS moving to a open source platform, am I the only one wishing for a port of webOS to the Charges' hardware? Sure its not the most powerful phone or neither does it have the strongest developer base, but I'm still hoping for it one day. This is coming from a person who had a Palm Pre Plus prior to my D'Charge, so therefore I'm very familiar with the way webOS works and I still today miss it the fluidity of the platform. So let me know, am I alone?

In theory, I suppose it could be done, as WebOS is also Linux based. However, it would take a LOT of work-I think the time put into such a project would not equal the number of people who would want to use it.

+1 I'd love to see that, but CM7 and/or ICS comes first!

I think most people would rather see ICS ported first...

In all honesty I would like to see ICS before I would like to see WebOS, but I feel like these ports would be coming from different teams. From one corner their will be developers working to get ICS to all non-nexus devices and in the other corner their will be people working to get WebOS on android devices and once its done here it will be picked up by other developers and tweaked to work on the particular device they're developing for.

Like the OP I too am a webOS convert. WebOS definitely has its strong point over Android ( no tomatos please ). But until HP gets their act together and decides on a reliable direction webOS has no chance or future.

Call me crazy but I would also like to see a wp7 port as well. I'm really liking the look of it and all the wp7 apps in our market don't do a good enough job of recreating it, unless you dish out some money.

WP7 is impossible. One, it's closed source. Two, it's not Linux based, unlike webOS and Android.

Yea, I knew it was going to be impossible. They did manage to dual boot Android and WP7 on the HD2. One can dream though, right? Lol

I guess we'll have to wait and see, I even dusted off the old Pre Plus today and played with it for awhile and when I went back to my D'Charge I kept catching myself swiping up to get out of my email.

just not enough developers over here...HTC is big in the development department...they have lots of development going on over there, not so much for our Samsung. Then again we got sicker screens and thinner devices..

With the release of Isis (the open-source webOS browser), is there any chance of it being ported to the Charge, or Android in general?
Also webOS. I would love to have webOS on this phone.

not going to happen

Well it is possible but a dev would have to take an interest in it and considering this phone has kinda died out with the exception of a few that's not likely to happen

Android Ported To C#

Here's a slashdot link to the story.

Lets hope some hotshot devs give this a thought. I really think this could be the evolution of android for all devices.

Will anyone be porting Open WebOS to the Inspire?

Just wondering if anyone is going to be working on WebOS once it becomes open source to port it to the Inspire.

Don't get your hopes up. It will be a beast of a job to port WebOS, and it will only happen on our phone if a very dedicated developer decides to work on it.

if you are interested in owOS I am part of a group that will be developing the OS and looking into manufacturing a phone to go along with it. If you are interested you can find a little more information at our site phxdevices[DOT]com

I'd like to see this too. I'm a full blown flashaholic android junkie now, but was a WebOS fan before I discovered my love for android.

Androids are no more exciting......

The hype of android is now over. It has become a PC like thing against apple. So history is repeating itself. Yes we know they now have a large app base unlike in 2011, when the big titles were only on ios. But now things are changed. We all know that android turns into a giant and this transformation was rapid. But if we see in detail its just like microsoft and intel. A new processor with more hertz and a new windows. So now is the point when all the ics and jb devices can do everything alike besides games.
Kids who own their devices to play games are justified to get an upgrade but for a lil older folks and retired teens. I find hard to get a reason to upgrade to some different size, when i am so used to of my phone. Its been 2 years that i am having my phone. There are lot of phones in the market now some even more bigger and some slightly small. But there is no other phone with 5.3 inch screen size. Which i think is the ideal and max for the pocket.
The bad thing that happened is that i cant use even a slightly small phone because it feels very small.
Anyone agreeing with my view or any criticism is appeciated.

I dare you to get a note 2 and stick it in your pocket. The device fits in my jeans and dress slacks. I should add I use the ZL extended battery. The best thing about the note 2 in my opinion is its readability. I use my phone more because of it.

After rooting, flashing a custom rom, and overclocking my LG Optimus V, it became exciting one again. :laugh:

Android is basically a version of linux, jist its UI was newwhen it first came. More compatible on a phone. But if u look close. Its just the same linux that we use on the PCs. The hard part is we all just switched to android without asking them about the security of it. There ia no official claim about how secure it is. I like apple because they ade their system atleast secure.

Has your data been stolen off your phone? Linux has built in security and you can't do anything major without root plus Jelly bean android added security features. Just as long as you don't download apps from unknown sources you are fine. Now we can see the OP is just another clueless apple troll.

Android
Well there's loads of devices out there for Android, yet there are some form factors that I'd like to see on a high end phone but doesn't come...
For instance, I wanna see a Palm Pre like QWERTY portrait slider... Also a regular QWERTY candy bar phone...
Why do the manufacturer's think that Android doesn't need a physical keyboard? The ones that do come out with physical kbs these days are poor designs and low end phones. I can think of a few people in my family who would love an Android phone with a proper physical kb.

Development have been slow for 4.3, even in Nexus community. Some ROM builders/ teams have stopped development completely. That's something bad.

androids are cool

Actually since the security issues. People are not going custom or rooted. Plus going custom is what fascinates the teens and younger folks. Its also time consuming backing up data and restoring on the newly flashed system and then going back. People now simply wait for the official update, in the past it took even a year for ics to come but now the process is quickened.
Devs are not investing time to make custom rather they are going for app development.

Well, I think it depends... In my case I love to have devices running like I want (and no like brands want). So I don't have problem with do some backups and then try and mod some Roms.

Until when??? I have been doing this for 3 years. There is a point when you are fed up of just trying to make something perfect which according to you always have room for something new. So its just a blind chase. In the end its just a lil browsing some games messaging and calls that we have to make. A little social networking too if you use your phone cam

I feel the opposite; its starting to get really exciting with 4.0 around the corner and really fast quad core processor/high memory phones. I love the future!
