I have seen they are working on this on a few different sites. Does anyone here no anything about it yet? I figure if anyone is going to do it, it woll be someone here..Here is a link of someone doing it on a mda 3.

From what I understood of what I read, it's technically not running it on a smartphone. You run a VNC Viewer on your phone (normally, VNC is software used to remotely control your PC), then setup your PC to feed the Android display to your phone.
So what's basically happening is Android runs in an emulator on your PC, but shows up on your phone.
Because of the nature of the VNC, however, this makes for a very slowly system and means you really can't make phone calls using it.
Oh...is that what they are doing there? I guess I didn't read closely enough. Thanks for the update. I was hoping to flash my Wizard with some mystical android rom at some point....I know............. I'm dreaming......but it would be cool..

Agree... it would be cool. In the mean time, if you haven't already, check out PointUI. I expect it to progress into something really sick (it's pretty cool already).
Oh it'll most likely happen sooner or later...especially considering HTC is planning to release an Android device, which means possibly similar hardware, but it's still too early...

OMG, I saw this video on that new app for the Galaxy S.
Is there a way to port it to the EVO?
Road SMS KB App on Galaxy S
saw it too, pretty sweet im def interested
Now thats an Interesting feature....
In for this.
That is brilliant.
That is sweet!!!
guessing its just goinna be an apk, direct install, but you never know..
that is sweet, we will have it before you know it. it will just be an apk I assume
Better yet, can we get it as a live wallpaper?
that app is cool. such a simple yet brilliant idea.
I like and wouldn't mind having it on our phone. BUT, when I text, I don't hold my phone in front of me. I usually have it down a bit lol. None the less I wouldn't mind seeing it on our phone
is ther ea keyboard like that in the market with just clear buttons, I would love to have that.
This is gonna drain battery like crazy, isn't it?

Yes. Yes it is. My camera i by far the biggest drain on the battery (obviously only when it is used).

You'd have to get a second battery just to get through the day.
Pretty [email protected] cool feature if you ask me.
Hopefully this will reduce the number of wrecks-while-texting, but then again I think to myself; "How many people will actually own this phone AND use this feature"

I think its meant to be used while driving so you can hold the phone up and still keep an eye on the road. Thats the only time that I'd ever use it. I dont text and drive often....but it sure would be helpful those times that I do it.
I'd be safer if I just called them though, LOL

Samsung clarified that it is for pedestrians. Could you imagine the **** storm if they were encouraging driving and texting in any way?
Awesome!
Wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of some jerk that hit my car because he thought he could see the road in front of him using the Road SMS app lol
Unfortunately something tells me that what was once thought to be a good idea on Samsung's part, will eventually lead to lawsuits because of ignorant people
Any other XDA developers get lucky enough to receive a Cr-48 from google? Typing one right now and I gotta say, it's nice.
funny thing is, I started to look through the system, and unsurprisingly, it's set up just like android!
bin
boot
build
dev
etc
home
lib
etc... etc.. etc... it's all there!
IF anyone has one and would like to jump on development with me, that'd be awesome. the main thing I want to do with this? dual boot android gingerbread.
it seems totally possible, Sundar Pichai even said the entire thing is unlocked for full control of development, and hell it's already running a modified android system of sorts, shouldn't be too hard... right? (famous last words)
Nice that you got such a Laptop.
I also want one, but I think they won't send me one cause I live in Germany
But I also got an Android and I've got a Debian Server...
and look
It has the same structure...
OH MY GOD It's called Linux
hehehe yes yes i know, I have 3 partitions myself with different linux distributions, just having a poke of fun.
Gah, lucky guys. I live in Canada, so I'm ineligible.
i was under the impression that that was the basic linux/unix folder structure
i'm pretty sure all mac and linux installs are set up like that
I got one,
I got one but Im certainly not a dev. I would be willing to give most things on it a try.
Went through the process of signing up. How long did it take you after you signed up to get it? Did they email you first? I might have been too late..signed up last week..i know they were limited in supply.

It's very quick, a friend got the confirmation within an hour. I've applied atleast 6 times...and nothing.

I applied last week also. Didn't get any notification, it just showed up at my door yesterday. Good luck all!!
P.S. +1 on Gingerbreading this thing! I'll be keeping a close watch on this.

Signed up last week, got it Wednesday, no email. I was tracking it with the leaked tracking info posted Friday.
Managed to get one.
Using it now actually. When I get some time off on Monday I plan to throw Ubuntu on it, since there's tutorials of dual booting Chrome OS and Ubuntu already. If you wan't I'll stick around and help with what I can, I know my way around Linux rather decently, and am no stranger to Android either.
yeah i got mine yesterday. no email or anything the ups guy just showed up. i want to try some hacks to the OS. putting other OS's on it isnt that interesting to me since i can just do that with any other computer. i want to see what chrome can really do.
Got one today.
Actually, it was delivered 7 days ago to my office. I signed up the first day.
I was sick the whole week and this morning I emailed my colleague asking about any packages delivered to me. She told me that I have received a laptop so I went to my office to pick it up.
Can't believe the laptop was sitting in my mailbox untouched for 7 days.

Hmm.. thats weird. They should be sending e-mails letting people know.
used the cr-48 shipping tracker and theres one coming to my town, don't expect it to be mine though. :X
but 14 to my neighboring town. (sigh)
different zip code in my town, somehow i didn't notice
CR-48 Ubuntu
I got CR-48 second day, didn't expect it. Already installed Ubuntu on it, it fast even with Ubuntu, SSD speed is something like 300 MB/s read. But the interesting thing is I prefer Chrome OS to Ubuntu for daily use I just go into ubuntu for SPECIAL things.

Yeah, a lot of people receiving them aren't receiving confirmations. They either get it at their front doors, or they don't.
how's flash working on it? Engadget commented that after trying to use flash, the device really bogged down.
im gonna apply now to but do you guys now if they send theese to sweden ? i guess they prefer sending them to US only... :/
thought i would share this link with you all...i thought it was interesting to see where we are heading for the future! how long till we have DS Emulator on the Market?
http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2011/02/kyocera-echo/
Thank bro...
Checkidot
Nice..
I think that this could also be done now manually eg. by installing another chrooted OS (Debian) and configuring Xorg to work correctly with the external screen. Yes, it is complicated and unseen problems will probably arise.
IMO that looks like a train wreck. A couple of beers later, snap! You now have two phones.
Sent from the future.

Yea, looks totally ridicolous.. And what about the cpu? Will it handle dual-screens?
hello friends,
I am newbie here. I hope all your co-operation and help. I am very happy to be here with u all.
Waiting for your positive response.
Have a great day !

Yeah, I don't think it will go anywhere either. I'm sure someone will do something cool to it though. I remember being on Engadget during the press conference waiting for that dumb David Blaine stunt to get over with.

Yea I heard about the David Blaine thing; kinda stupid imo.
However, I don't really like the design of the phone, not really pleasing to look at; that and tthe fact that the form factor itself might actually take away from the speed you can do most things.
Captivate 2.2.1 Paragon
Who brought the DS to Sprint?
as a Sprint user this phone was a huge let down.
Ugliest phone ive seen in a while.
Nice..

Lol have sense but i think that is a failer = [
Technically, we already have a very early Prototype DS emulator on the market.
Just search up Tiger Lab Nintendo DS on Google
{I would provide the URL link but as the website says I'm still a n00b and unable to post weblinks}
I personally haven't tried out the emulator, but it definately shows promise.
nice, finally effective multi tasking phone
That dual screen phone is pretty darn ugly. I don't think I'd carry a dual screen phone... definitely not one with those specs. It's too thick and too big without the good specs it would need.
Just wanted to know if any of the devs would be interested in porting the Ubuntu Touch over to our One XL's. I'm not a dev at all (I know absolutely zero coding), but came across this post on the XDA homepage. Thought it would be kinda cool for us to have Ubuntu touch ported over to our device as well.
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/porting-ubuntu-touch-is-as-simple-as-building-cm/
Would love to see it if anyone knows how to get it ported over.
Thanks in advance to anyone that does!

They make it seem pretty simple to get set up so long as you have CM10.1 working for your device, so hopefully that's the case. Ubuntu is installing right now, fingers crossed it doesn't have any issues along the way.

Sent from my Elemental Venomized S-off HTC One XL
Just a heads up, it looks, unsurprisingly, like Ubuntu's servers are getting hammered right now. I'm only getting about 150 KBps from the, though it could also be my sometimes flaky internet connection here too. It's gonna take a little while to pull everything at this speed.

Considering you're trying and know a lot more than many of us on here know with regards to compiling it, the wait will be worth it if you can get it booting!
I would be all over this!
Thanks djsikhbeatsz!!
Just remember it is a developer preview, that is pre pre pre alpha. Lol. I installed it on my nexus 7 last night, many things do not work, but I really like the direction they are heading

Yeah, it sounds like it's barely even able to work as a phone. We'll have to see how quickly they are working on it. Hopefully it'll be actually usable before too long.
Unfortunately, I'm STILL trying to pull the source. I mean, it's ridiculously slow. I'm under 100 KBps now. I was hoping to get something running today because I don't know that I'll have time to work on it over the weekend. We'll have to see.
Update: Yeah, some 5-6 hours later we're STILL downloading. Nothing for today. I'm going to try to get back to it tomorrow or Sunday if I have time. Hopefully by then it will have finished downloading, haha.

Where are you downloading from? Why not go to the Ubuntu site and get the official torrent?
http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/alternative-downloads
Try that...it wil definitely be faster

he's most likely talking about pulling the needed repos to build, not an ubuntu distro.

freaking SLOW
I grabbed the source yesterday since I knew their servers would be screwed today
For anyone hoping for an easy port btw, look elsewhere, it doesn't seem to be finding our RIL along with a few other stuff.

Jeez Rohan, there's no getting anything past you is there? Lol...you get a headstart on all the greatest roms / ports it seems! Good work though, thank god for ppl like you! Thanks man!
Wow, this dropped all the way to page 4. I didn't even realize this section was that busy, haha. Well, I unfortunately didn't get any time to come in and mess with this over the weekend, but my source pull failed before completing, and now every time I try to start it back up, it just fails again saying the remote end hung up unexpectedly. I'll check back later and see if they get it fixed.
Wait so is there going to a Rom?

At the moment, I've gotten back into a busy cycle at work, and my computer is broken at home (I'm down to an iPad and my phone), so I haven't been able to play with it. Hoping to get my computer up and running as soon as I can get some parts ordered. I can't really be upset, I've been using that system for over 5 years now and it's been running like a damn champ! Goodbye ridiculously old Opteron 165. Maybe one of these other guys might have an interest in getting it running.
