Database Users

Project for developer?

Ok. So my company purchased two 7" Android tablets pre-production from China. They turned out to actually not be "real" android as it seems to be running a skinned down Android on top of Windows CE. We are looking to place Android tablets in retail locations for a pilot test. I'm looking for a developer that would be able to do one or both of the following:
1) Put REAL Android on here. It doesn't matter whether it is 1.5, 1.6, etc. but we don't want Windows running in the background for the obvious reasons.
2) Develop a VERY simple (but pretty) application for a registration process that would guide the user through entering the values for the questions we are asking. The trick to this app is we also need a way to completely lock the device down so that the user can only use that app. Maybe a hidden button in a corner that would prompt for a password so that we could get out of the app.
We would gladly send one of these tablets and let the dev keep them for their time and we would also be willing to discuss pay based on time invested. Please PM if interested. Pics of the units below:

Anyone interested?

Bump...........

Porting Android to this device is probably an insanely time consuming and difficult project. Just look at the Android porting projects for various Non-android HTC Devices such as the Touch Pro/Diamond. Takes for ages as drivers needs to be written, etc...
I think you would be better of thrashing those fake tablets and maybe do some proper research next time you buy something from China..

HTC Sense Hub Demoed on an HTC Windows Phone 7

In the beginning I apologize if the news was not true in a place ​

It looks like HTC has found a way to integrate nicely with Windows Phone 7's hubs. The manufacturer is releasing something akin to an HTC Sense plug-in for Windows phone 7 that will integrate with it weather and other useful information. Ever since Windows Phone 7 was announced, HTC had been intent on bringing the Sense experience to the mobile platform, though there were early concerns that third-party UI overlays would not be permitted. Since then, we've seen concepts, and it looks like the recent demo is legitimate as the Sense experience was demoed on an HTC phone running Windows Phone 7 OS.​

It looks kinda cool, but I can see the flying through clouds thing being annoying pretty fast.

That does look pretty funky.

i really hope that wp 7 could be installed on our hd2s!

Bearing in mind that I will be keeping my HD2 regardless of the next phone I get on upgrade next April, my choices are between Windows Phone 7 and Android (Hmmm).
If the above post and YouTube video is true, then the new WPS7 experience will be a treat. The standard interface alone looks via alive and fresh with the constantly update tiles, and I am pretty sure that any iphone4 user would be looking over your shoulder in evy.
I am not discounting Microsoft and the likes of HTC just yet to deliver a genius piece of kit just yet.

No there is not.
You could try the Android 7 Launcher that kinda recreates the windows desktop but it's just a launcher at all...

Windows 8 has been reported to already be running on ARM architecture CPUs. Which ones exactly, I don't know. I imagine Microsoft realizes Intel may not usurp ARM and wants to be able to put their next OS as an alternative for us on tablets and maybe even phones.
Old old versions of NT also ran on Alpha, MIPS and Power PC, but they dropped support in the mid-late nineties for them. I actually had a DEC workstation with an Alpha 21064 that I used for NT and later played with Linux some. The "BIOS" it had was probably one predecessor to EFI today.

Wasn't that an April Fools?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA

it's impossible as ios is strongly modified in comparison to standard unix/linux systems and it's closed source anyway meaning compatiblity is only limited to apple products that has it as oem. palm webos, nokia maemo can be easier to port but still there are so much differrences as android isn't pure linux too.

Windows XP within Android

Is there a way to get Windows XP running within Android on a Nexus 7?

No.
If there is a way, VMware will probably be first to make it. But not for windows XP. It's too old for anyone to care about it. If there is anything, it will be for Windows 7, 8 or 9 or something.
I found this though: http://www.pressbyte.com/3723/vmware-view-client-app-android-3x-honeycomb-tablet-pc/
It's an old article, so sure there has been some progress since then.
Found something else, but haven't tested it:

Ouch! I think I just had my credulity strained.
I better go see a doctor.

Not sure if you need xp or just some of the apps but I remember reading a while ago a russian company was working on a x86 emulator for android but only had it running at 20 percent. If you can get away with windows98 Ive installed that before through dosbox for some gaming.
