Has anyone seen this?
Looks wicked !!

Just need to find out where and how we can get this...
I just signed up for a preview on their website. I can't see myself using the whole interface if I didn't have to, but I sure would like a few of those widgets.
Look interesting in theory, though it could be less gimmicky and then I'd be more likely to buy it. Also noteworthy, that video was running on an HTC Hero. Imagine how it would run on the N1.
I signed up as well, we need to get a hold of this!
very nice ****.
gotta admit, that's pretty slick looking. would like to preview before purchase, but would consider a purchase if not to 'spensive
I also signed up, this looks interesting.
Signed up as well. VERY excited about this!
Does look interesting...signed up.
Signed up as well! I would love to give it a try.
Also signed up. Slick looking UI design. One of the things about the Hero I'm missing since getting my N1 is well designed widgets. The widgets on TAT Home look amazing. And gesture controls really look sweet.
I'm convinced.
ANY PRICE they ask, within reason, I'd be willing to pay!
I guess, what, $50? Would be too high, soo ... anything below that!
Too bubbly a design for my taste (even SenseUI for android falls into that for me, lol), but to each his own. I could see how this could open a ton of doors for the way widgets are done however.
I think there was a point where Sense looked just too flashy, but its evolved into something which adds great value to the user experience. I'm hoping this experience will be similar.
Jumped on the sign-up bandwagon too. I'd love, at the very least, that music widget.
Looks nice! Signed up to give it a try!
This plus Dalvik Turbo.... oh god...
Buhuhump. Buhuhump. Buhuhump.
Is there a release date?
interesting.... I'm willing to give it a shot.
I signed up.
I thought it would be good to post the link for people to see some progress on andriod. Apparently, the chefs that have been working with harret have just made a break through, alot quicker than expected, which means we can expect andriod soon!

This has been an extremely good day, a new TV, new part time job and now this. I ****ing love life.
Theres still a long way to go.
I hate to put a downer on things but I think those of you who want this will still be waiting quite a while. Certainly is a fantastic breakthrough though.
(if you like that sort of thing )
whats so good with android that everyone is so excited about? better performance? better applications?
only used wm so id really like some info
No hurry.......
World peace at last....

I can't speak for performance (my brother's MyTouch seems snappy), but it definitely has better apps. And it's, you know, not a soon to be dead operating system.
You could've just linked directly to the thread here on XDA and cut out the middle-man (Engadget). Unless you're excited that XDA Devs made it on Engadget...which is the awesome part.

You do realize that that article is about the linux project thread that is here on this site, right? If you watched it on this site you would have known this news a day earlier. The thread is stickied in the rom section.
Also, I wouldn't say that this breakthru was made quicker than expected... it was some segfault problems they solved that they didn't expect to have in the first place. It put the whole project on hold for a while, but now they're back in business, but things are not gonna happen any quicker than expected. It will still be a long time before we have a fully-functional port.
they still havea long way to go. it just took engadget long enough to realize that the devs have been working on this for quite a while. i don't think any of the drivers for bluetooth, wi fi, touch screen calibration, etc etc are even close to being finished yet.
I found this on Phandroid:
We promised we’d be digging for more information about Gingerbread well ahead of its coming out party, and we’re making steady progress. We initially broke the news on Monday. While most of you remained skeptic thanks to the world’s worst screen grab ever, we expect some of you have come around to trusting us now that the YouTube app we talked about in that post officially launched a few days later. Today, we have a little bit more.
What you see above is what happens in Gingerbread when turning your screen off: a cool effect not unlike what we used to see when turning a TV off back in the tube days. It’s nothing groundbreaking, but it certainly is nice and it’s worthy to note that this is the first time we’ve seen animations of this sort triggered upon hitting the designated screen off button on your phone. Note that no theme for any custom ROM or any version of Android is able to trigger such an animation, leading us to believe that this is – in fact – the real deal.
That’s it for now, but again, we’re always digging for more. Stick with us as we try to get the blueprints of this sweet house laid out before it’s ready to be built.

What do you guys think about it?
i can dig that screen shut off
Would be great
I've saw a guy who said he had Gingerbread on his phone and it didn't look like that so I'm going to be surprised either way.
I thought gingerbread was meant to be a stock graphic overhaul - it looks the same as Froyo to me? (minus the screen off animation)
But the screen animation looks hot I want!
I hope they manage to do screen orientation animation too.
For the person who start the thread: Coño, otru Asturianu en XDA!!!
Looking great
ahhhh leaked gingerbread stuff.. cant wait
Sounds like good ginger to me my Nexus is ready!
Rumors were that Gingerbread would have look and feel similar to stock Gallery app. This is not even near to that
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
hahaha
the longer gingerbread needs to come the more i be shure my nexus will be
killed by ROM UPDATES arghhh i am going to be a rommer junkey ;.)
PLease give as G with :
Freee custom desktop like making a homepage screen and all is working :_)
3 D if i want it a cube or else to switch from a screen to another
and please biggggggger icons like in OSX ................Leopard zzooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmm.............................!
and lot a new gimmicks please
tx Maurix
Sigh, Gingerbread is looking more and more useless by the minute. I'm thinking even 2.3 is kind of an overstatement, how about 2.2.8
Also, people who buy a phone right now may be screwed out of the real update, Honeycomb.
god dam you guys make gingerbread sounds terrible!
It is only a 10 second video you guys it is not gonna show the whole freaking system.

I agree, I am so disappointed with everyone dishing it so bad... I am excited about Gingerbread, Android picked up the Palm guy so I think the UI will be much nicer, and we are so early in development, that what we are seeing looks just like what we have so I think everyone is talking trash because of that.
I think we will see some nice changes coming
So, since the nook color already has one, how long do you think it will be until the adam gets a honeycomb rom?
I want to see this as well screw all the other roms. No offense. But I would love to see honeycomb on the adam be the XOOM or lg's slate come out.
This is going to be a big sticking point for the Adam if it doesn't get ported over quickly... Honeycomb looks pretty awesome.
Why would it not be ported over quickly?
And why a comment about it being a sticking point for Adam? Adam, we hope, will be a great platform for all kinds of experiments with Android and possibly other operating systems. Your post just seemed to have a negative bent to it, and I was wondering why.
There is, nor has there been any reason that I know of, to believe that the Adam will not get Honeycomb very early. Hope we can keep this XDA Adam forum positive and working toward making the Adam better and fun for all. That other forum has enough negativity to go around.

I honestly don't want Adam getting left in the dust with other Honeycomb tablets coming out. I've owned 4 Android tablets now and none of them have quite fit the bill. It's really hard to find a tablet that balances quality with price. And the NotionInk Adam looks like it's a good blend -- it's at a low enough entry price-point ($425 shipped) with pretty decent bones (Tegra2, 1GB RAM) but it really needs good software to complete the experience. Those good bones (Tegra2 chip) don't really mean much unless we are able to take advantage of them.
My last tablet was a ViewSonic G-Tablet and I definitely noticed a speed boost compared to my Chinese tablets, but Android 2.2 simply wasn't able to fully take advantage of the hardware (specifically the Tegra2's GPU). As you might have seen in some of the recent news, Google has put a good amount of effort into Honeycomb to allow them to take advantage of the GPU both directly in their OS (eg. transitions / animations) as well as building it directly into their APIs (eg. Renderscript). That being said, if I'm buying some nice hardware I expect to be able to take advantage of it (via the software layer)... NotionInk tried to do this with Eden, but most of their software does not take advantage of the GPU -- the only place I've heard them identify as using the GPU is for the rendering of the leaves when they are in the slanted switcher mode.
Also, don't be alarmed if you occasionally see a post with a negative / criticising tone to it. Notion Ink is a new company which has done a lot of things right, but they've also made a ton of mistakes along the way. I do hope them the best and I'm rooting for them to sort things out, but that doesn't mean I'm going to blindly follow them without pointing out things where I think they can improve. After all, that's what XDA is all about -- pointing out the things we want to improve in our devices and figuring out how to do it!
PS. Having owned the G-tablet and seeing what the XDA devs (Roebeet, Rothnic, etc) were able to do to that is one of the main reasons I decided to get the Adam. The Adam is using the Tegra2 SoC which is one of the key ingredients to the Honeycomb reference platform... so I expect that the XDA devs will probably be able to cook up a nice Honeycomb ROM once they can get their hands on the proper code.
its going to be a tough one..
Honeycomb's interface or eden?
Personally I think id choose eden therefore honeycomb doesn't affect me as much. I havent had a chance to use 3.0 though so we'll wait and see.

I guess it's important for Notion Ink that Eden is a success as it will fuel income from and development for the Genesis market.
From what I've read sofar, that cashflow is an important part of NI's business model.
So I hope that Eden develops into the best UI overlay there is and thar many tweakers decide to port Eden to their non-Adam tablets.

Except that Honeycomb takes advantage of the hardware, includes a new graphics rendering engine, and a other non ui improvements...
The key to honeycomb is hardware acceleration. laggy or choppy graphics will be a thing of the past.

I agree!
"that's what XDA is all about -- pointing out the things we want to improve in our devices and figuring out how to do it!"
Constructive criticism is a wonderful thing and definitely has it's place at XDA. That other forum has just degenerated into a 90% negative and bashing secession, and I would not like to see them move it over here.
i like to ask questions to the support team. sometimes they answer, sometimes they dont, but here's one for honeycomb. nothing new, but i just wonder what their progress on Honeycomb

How long does it take to make a new honeycomb rom? i saw the honeycomb rom for the nook color! and i think it will be great on my adam!
Skip forward to 2:18 to see what TouchWiz will bring us. Can't wait!

Edit: Correction, they start showing off new features earlier. Probably should just watch the whole thing from the start.
Doesn't it start from 1:30 or something? I see new settings panel with new colors. Looks NICE!

Not sure if I like the whole colorfulness samsung always brings to TW. I like the sexy black and dark blue of honeycomb.
I'm up in the air on if I want TW or not. it has some nice features, but I'm worried about the overhead that may slow down the tab a bit.
err why does this belong in development ?

I was wondering the same thing, but I didn't want to start a huge argument like always happens when threads like this are put in the wrong section. A moderator will move it sooner or later. Until then... I guess we could still discuss it
Because it shows of features of the next update. I was debating if I should have put it under general but I figured if it got under someones skin, they could just report it and a moderator would move it.

What is truly funny (or perhaps sad) is that a new thread started in an incorrect location on an internet forum would actually be enough to "get under someone's skin". Nothing makes me laugh more on these forums that those people.
I agree with the posted that is torn between TW's nice features and its less than appealing color scheme. Overall, I'm looking forward to it though. Will devs here on XDA be able to take TouchWiz and make custom TouchWiz-based themes/ROMs?
Speaking of overhead, I have a quick question that probably doesn't deserve its own thread.
I have tried everything I know to stop auto-run processes with a bunch of apps. Obviously, killing an app is almost pointless, as it comes right back. But I've also used Android Assistant to disable certain apps autorun ability, but it seems to be completely ineffective as they just load anyway.
Some of the worst offenders are Wallpaper Wizardrii, Wefi Connect, and News Republic. Both Wefi and News Republic began running themselves with autorun before I'd ever opened either app.
I actually LIKE the light and fruity color scheme
Can't wait for the release. Hopefully it comes soon.
I'm excited for this as well. It doesn't seem overly intrusive, but that is left to be seen. I sold my Tab for a nice profit after purchasing one at the pre-release in NYC, but I'm hoping to get another shortly. Just looking for the right price.

Yeah from what I can tell, it looks like its not a totally overhauled and skinned OS, which is refreshing, but rather the stock HC with some actually pleasant looking enhancements (loving the notification area with toggles!). Of course I'll still nandroid before running the update in the event that I don't like it for some reason.
My other concern is that it does sound like the additional functionality updates (USB host, etc) are bundled in with this TouchWiz update, though needless to say its a guarantee that within days the XDA community will have picked it apart and .zip's will be available for those who just want to add the new functionality minus the TouchWiz
