People,
Any chance that we can port the windows 8 RT to Motorola Xoom? Didn't they test the system in it's early stages on tegra 2 ? Any one think this may be possible?
I don't know but surely questions can be posted in the questions forum...

well said.
And counting with the support Nvidia has given to us is more like one mission impossible.
Maybe that's way sound so interesting. kk
let's starting digging.
Hmmm, Quiet interested if it would be possible, well nothing is impossible so we should see it here when the time tells
i personally dont think that would be possible; but hey, when there's a will theres a way
Only way i see it happening is if a windows 8 tablet with a tegra2 is released. Which isn't going to happen.

Get the splashtop windows 8 metro test bed and you can run your windows 8 PC on your tablet remotely, I'm trying it now with the windows 8 development preview and its pretty cool!

Yes and no, i know that their is some themes on cydia that you can download for it but as far as porting the os it probably will never happen, its just to hard to get any other os to run on an apple product. We had a hard enough time getting android on the 2g and 3g and their over 2 years old. so yes it might one day but lets be honest you probably wont still have the phone

Hey guys I saw no slickdeals that the price of the HP Touchpad is dropping 300 bucks tomorrow cause they dropped it! I called to confirm and its true, I bought 3 for the full price and they 100% guaranteed that I would be given credit when the price adjust tomorrow at 7AM EST.
Heres the Slickdeals thread:
http://slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?t=3220862
You can either wait till tomorrow for the price drop or call in right now and pay full price and have it adjusted tomorrow morning. Some are saying the new price is live for the Academic shop but some people can't see it with .edu email addresses.
I have played with the tab in a store and I have to say for $99 this is one Hell of a steal.
Good luck.
Wow. I was expecting a liquidation, but this is remarkable. For browsing the web and random Document editing, this is an amazing price!
Does anyone know the hackability of this device? Do you think that, despite discontinuation, that the app market might become at least respectable (with xda involvement)?

I don't know about the hackability but I'll tell you this tab handles flash like a boss. Its the only one I've seen that can do 1080p youtube without a hitch. And I dunno, they are killing off the touchpad itself but they want to keep webOS alive, I don't really know what that means for webOS on the tab.
Think we can get android on this?

Uh, I've heard that someone is making progress with ubuntu but I've seen nothing on android. And its probably not gonna happen for all I know cause isn't honeycomb based on tegra?
So I can just buy this to just surf the internet? If so, I am ready to buy a couple.

I'm torn between buying it or not. If an android port was confirmed to be possible and in the works, I'd definitely buy one.

Thank you for the information I'll keep this in mind
Does anyone know what stores have lowered the price? I've been checking the usual suspect's websites and they haven't updated yet. I'd rather walk into a brick and mortar place to get it though. I don't want to wait for shipping if I don't absolutely have to.

Target and amazon both had it but they sold out in minutes. I don't know but maybe bestbuy might have it tomorrow, I say this because Bestbuy Canada had the $100 price online.

Honeycomb has been ported to the galaxy s line, galaxy tab and evo... Probably more too, I think Nook. So... Maybe it's possible?
*might* have to get one of these... If I can afford it

I'm DEFINITELY buying one and I'm sure ICS can be ported to it when the time comes since the source will be released for it. This is a SNAPDRAGON QUALCOMM CPU and GPU and HTC uses that for their CPU/GPUs so I don't see why it's not possible, someone would have to write a kernel from scratch though to make it smoother, just like how the HD2 has Android, but it's not perfect since it's not using it's own kernel. If someone actually takes the time to unlock the bootloader(if it isn't already unlocked) and write up a kernel for it and port ICS to it, this tablet can be badass ;D $99 Android Tablet with ICS pl0x.

Damn, and 2wks ago, i just bought my daughter a 7" 4GB android 2.3.3 Coby tab for 180$ !!!!! Damn damn damn damn.

Got one for $90. I mean, at that point I couldn't resist. Heck, at worst I feel like if I use it, dont like it, I can still flip it for a tiny profit on craigslist or ebay.
Im really hoping for an android port. The specs on this tab are actually quite good. Im probably going to end up keeping it regardless. I'll probably just end up using it for bedside web-browsing, movies, and music.
There's a killing to be made by porting android to this thing. thousands of people just picked up this thing on slickdeals (there are literally over 11k browsing right now). I know tons are willing to donate (im good for 10$-20$ myself depending on quality and progress)
Looking forward to a touchpad xda forum soon

Hi Y'all, Just bricked hard bricked my captivate, so its off to become unbrickable, so it got me thinking, who here would put in some cash to buy a cappy and get it unbrickabled for a Dev to port windows phone to the cappy? Maybe try and get featured on the XDA home page.
Anyhoo just an idea
Windows Phone 7 is closed source. The reason why it's good is also the reason you won't get it.
Also you can get a Samsung Focus (Captivate running WP7) off contract for under $250.

I believe Focus already got Mango update if you are in Canada.
It's hard but i hope
HD2 devs are success to port WP7 to it and i think Cappy dev can too
Go ahead!

Focus got Mango long ago. At least the v1.3 did, which luckily I have. I switch between it and my Captivate so neither if them get to old to quick.

I think WP on Captivate is impossible, due to it Chipset and GPU.
I personally think porting win mobile would be a complete loss for the captivate. i thought the whole idea of the android operating system is about freedon and doesnt win mobile pratically take that from you? please dont flame i have never used windows mobile except on my old pantech duo and my old blackjack.
Yeah but all porting it would do is it would give is options, its not like we would be stuck with it.

There are launchers that you can use that would replicate the Windows7 feel on the Captivate.
One that comes to mind is Launcher7

This is better option then porting the whole OS, as WP still lacks many features and apps.....I am using Lumia 900 and I am returning it soon...Tiles concept is good but it needs to develop more...

Agreed. I had the LG Quantum WP7 and I loved it for about a month or so before I sold it on Amazon. WP7 is an awesome concept. It would be AWESOMER if Microsoft would release its sources (that's a laugh, right?)
ANYWHO.... if you want a WP7-like experience, I suggest going with Launcher 7 (DONATE version) or Metro UI (it's "ehh" IMHO)
This looks exciting! Check out the latest news from Ubuntu!

I hope not long. it doesn't appear that they have released the source on the site yet. Just an announcement. I hope they release the source! Looks really cool to me!
looks promising.
They said that they will release flashable images for the galaxy nexus. Maybe we can get a port from there? Idk much about roming and such...

Shouldn't be too hard to port.
If not, people will create CyanogenMod-esque device trees for the S3 and other popular phones.

Im a big ubuntu fan but I also like the android OS. I wonder if there's any way to dual boot a phone.
Hello i was Wondering if Any one are Gonna adapt the Ubuntu Phone Os to Our beloved LG O3D when it gets out?
Jeez, it was publicly announced just a couple of days ago.
No way you will ever have 3D capabilities on that ROM, by the way.
Chill...
Only for Quad-core processors, read carefully...
Quads are recommended for full desktop experience only. Minimum is singlecore with 512 ram. Generally everything that runs android will run ubuntu phone too.

my Reasons for wanting ubuntu phone is becuse i think that it can be the next big thing besides Android (a worthy opponent)
and the Dock system is Really usefull i think(for as far as i have seen)
I think you missed the Announcement. The Pilot Device where it would be Firstly Implement is at Galaxy Nexus (Only) at late February this year. Quadcores are not a must.

And yeah, your were still too early on this. We barely got 4.0.4 and now here you want a port of a Pre-released OS. Also 3D functions is still shady or might really not have.
