[Q] Development stopped on TAB

hello everyone,
its sad to say but (is it just me) seems as thought developments on our tab have ceased. there have been no beta no news nothing........
its a shame such a potential device.....
ah well......

That is not true. Currently some users are working on getting ubuntu to run on the galaxy ran natively.

There is a bounty on the tab
just wait...

Probably the devs are taking a deep look into the Honeycomb ports. The Tab was made for it and I´m sure as soon as a Samsung Honeycomb Dump hits the ground, We will be using it in no time.

There is currently a bounty on the tab for a modem that allows 3G and voice at the same time. I'm guessing that many of the devs are currently working on a solution to the problem. This is going to take some time and skill to solve.
Another issue is Honeycomb. I'm betting that most of the devs are busy trying to get at the Honeycomb code so that they can begin trying to port it to the tab.
These developers have lives (jobs, families, etc.) outside of developing and many of them can't spend a great deal of their spare time trying to solve issues that the rest of us have.
They'll be here soon enough. Have patience.

Yea don't worry, this device is still popular, and because the new tab is 10.1. So i'm sure many people will still prefer this for mobility reason. Spring is around the corner

wow..positive
wow.. lovely to see so much positivness(is this even a word)
and really hope that they are cooking up something that would leave us WOW.
moments like this i wish i paid more attention in class and maybe learned to program.
as you can see DEVELOPER FOR OUR DEVICE we have faith in you guys...
keep it up.. and we know its stressful with wives..kids...work...ecc

Also a bit of good news from Samsung deciding that their first Honeycomb tablet will be a 10" model likely means the current Tab will continue to be sold for a while longer. If they had released a replacement that was the same size it would have pretty much killed any additional sales of the current model.

Yeah as soon as the honeycomb source hits aosp it will go boom
The development might be a little slower compared to other devices but hey, slowly but steady just be patient.... the tab will rock!

No boom that I heard but the source is available.

All I want for a early christmas is a vanilla froyo rom with overclocking ability

The word your looking for is positivity
I think the reason for slow development is due to the price of the device. Especially with the new devices coming out...people will start developing less and less. That's just my guess.

Did you look in the development forum?

Samsung are about to launch not one new Tablet (10.1") but a second (8.9") quite soon.

of honeycomb? Gingerbread is the latest on AOSP, checked 1 hour ago...
Only the final honeycomb sdk was released today

Ah drat. Nobody sent me the memo about development stopping... I guess I'll stop working on getting stock Linux / Ubuntu / Debian working on the Tab and sell it.
Seriously though, at least where I'm from, the Tab is ridiculously expensive (~$1200 or so). Many people simply don't have that sort of money to drop on something which is in my view, essentially a toy. (I got mine as a present from Hong Kong, to be honest I wouldn't have bought it with my own money)

The 10.1 moto tab is a huge and overpowered device (considering what it still CAN'T do that other higher powered portable devices CAN, (ie. laptop etc). It's too unwieldy for a mobile ebook reader but not functional enough to be a laptop replacement for students or professionals (no inking potential, less portability along with a netbook/laptop for support). It's a giant portable media player and Angry Birds arcade machine for early adopters and morons with too much money. As soon as the hype dies down, folks interests will turn back to devices that can run android 3, but cost a third less and are actually portable. **** like the Xoom is worthless until it can ACTUALLY replace the need for a keyboard/mouse/microsoft etc. because half-measures won't work for the masses (joe six-pack just wants convenience). This is the HP-TC1000 all over again.
There will be Honeycomb for the Galaxy Tab. The lemmings will love the Xoom, but the rest of us want function over form.

My Opinion

Seeing where the SGT Dev community is going (nowhere).... I am thinking of selling my 3 week old SGT for cash and saving up for the wifi-Xoom. Anyone in the same boat.... or can rebut my opinion.

I've had the same thought, but since my GF got it for me for X-mas, I'm gonna keep using it, and give it back to her when I can afford a XOOM

I got the tab in January and so far other than gaining root haven’t done anything else with it, the mobility factor is a big plus no question about it, but then I got the xoom on launching day and now I really like them both…so if or when you do it you will appreciate the differences.
I think the Devs have nothing to do with your decision.

I really like the form factor, but performance is an issue with my tab. and with the dev community not really huge, i feel left out of so much with all of these honeycomb tegra2 tablets coming out. I just really feel that Samsung really jumped the gun with the tab. releasing it with no hopes of any real update. Then pretty much rubbing it in our face by releasing 2 more tabs that are far more superior. makes me feel like i made a bad investment by falling for their trickery.
Maybe SGT 8.9 if released with similar specs as of the xoom. and reasonably priced

The tegra processors and Honycomb make our tab look outdated already but IMO the differences are not that big unless one expects too much from a tablet; is not going to replace our laptops yet…as for sami updating my hopes are nonexistent. I was in Germany recently when a saw the tab of a friend of mine, phone working etc I turned green . My biggest beef is with the carriers here in the US that crippled the device.

tegra 2 isnt a device without their own problem
like not able to play 720p mkv movies unless it converted on a specific format
that would be a problem to some people
and is there really a lot of app that dual core ready anyway?
afaik, for normal process, only 1 core would work unless there's a need for the 2nd core?
jumping too soon on honeycomb with limited apps wouldnt make that much of a difference either
and did you say saving up? how long? ^^
if it took months, who knows we already got honeycomb or ice cream on the way on our tab?
honeycomb, i doubt, but the next generation for smartphone definitely gonna be ported to our tab IMO
my main interest in this tab is phone capability, so unless there's another contender out there, i'm still gonna keep this one

I'm trying to see what trickery Samsung have fooled you with here?
The 7" Tab was sold as an Android 2.2 device, with no promise of a Honeycomb update, and that's what they delivered.
We may, or may not get an official upgrade, which may be Honeycomb, or perhaps Gingerbread, but the Tab is still a very capable and useful device as is IMO. I do believe that we will at least get an unofficial Honeycomb ROM once the source code drops.
None of the upcoming tablets can replace my Tab because they are too big for my purposes, though I may end up getting a bigger tablet purely for home use.
Regards,
Dave

For me its all about size, the 10s are just to big to carry around comfortably. Might as well continue to carry my Dell mini9 laptop. I dont require much from my tab maybe thats why Im happy with the 7.
Remember no matter what you buy it has a good 6 months of obsolescence built in

I think most devs wait for the honeycomb source... no one wants a broken sdk port on an expensive device...
As soon as HC hits aosp I'll contribute developing.

And the xoom community won't move very fast with development for the first six months either. And with that price, probably not much development after that.

Agreed. The xoom may be "developer friendly" but it is way too expensive to mess around with.. the galaxy tab gets cheaper and cheaper and will attract more devs too over time.

Why are we comparing the Tab and the Xoom? Two totally different niches. Anyone buying a Tab should know what they are getting, and most that do are getting them for a reason. 7 inches, and a solid product with the full Android Market without having to push it onto the device.
I have three different 7 inch tablets right now (had a 4th, but the Dell Streak 7 is dismal) and the Galaxy Tab is BY FAR the best of the three. The NookColor is fun, and is running dual-boot Honeycomb (port from sdk) and froyo. It's overclocked to 1.1Ghz and is primarily used by my wife as an e-reader (which is what B&N intended), though she likes firing up Angry Birds, etc.
The Archos 70 Internet Tablet is running 2.2.1..and is slim and can handle just about ANY media thrown it's way. Archos is a leader in Media devices, having created the HDD portable Music player before anyone else (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archos)...including Apple. It's hands down the best for watching movies. However it's flimsy and buggy...Archos sucks at support, truly. Plus, there's not much in the way of accessories for it. I had the 10.1 also...but sold it.
My Tab gets the most use...as I swap my phone's sim into it quite frequently. And it handles pretty much everything I want it to do. Out of the 3, theres no comparison as to my satisfaction.
If I wanted another 10" Tablet...and wanted Honeycomb right now, I STILL would not get the Xoom. I can afford it, but that doesn't mean I want to plunk down $800 on something obviously rushed out of production. Too many things wrong with this early adopter device.
Here's to hoping the incoming 8.9' Galaxy Tab has some of the kinks worked out...cuz I'm gonna pounce on it right away. 10.1" prolly not, the form factor just too large for my usage.

Whatever some people get, they will NEVER be satisfied

hehe...truly, and that's why my wife calls me a gadget whore...just have to have em all. Could be worse in her eyes, at least I'm loyal to her

If you bought a tablet based on the dev community then you were wrong to do that in the first place. You buy something for what it is, not what it may be based on some random people messing around with roms.
I can't see how a 10" Xoom could possibly be a replacement for the 7" SGT. One you can carry around with you, use in your car, act as a backup phone, and the other is mostly a stay at home couch device. Personally I think the Xoom is a bit of a let down on things it should be better at - like playing high bitrate movies. SGT blows it away on that score. The SGT build and screen is also very high quality. As good as my iPad 1 (which I've not really touched since the SGT came along. Never mind how I've come to despise the Apple lock-in methodology...).
Honeycomb looks like it will be a great update when the bugs are ironed out, but Froyo (maybe Gingerbread soon) on the SGT currently makes more sense as the device really is closer to a phone than a tablet (and I'm personally happy that it is). Ice Cream Sandwich looks like it will be the natural OS upgrade for this device, as it will combine Honeycomb UI changes with smartphone functionality. Whether Samsung will release it for the SGT in the coming months is anyone's guess, but for now I'm rocking the Tab. For a couch device I'll see what the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is like (hopefully they'll find a fix for the video snafu), but none of the Tegra 2 SoC based tablets are wowing me at the moment.

Lol...not mine, she's become a gadget snob. Though she won't admit it, she's glad to be cutting edge. I see it when her girlfriends drool over the cool gadgets she totes around, lmao. We'll go get coffee, and she will look to see who noticed her pretty NookColor while she's reading and surfing the internets.

So you're selling a device because people aren't modding it? IMHO that's a ridiculous reason to sell this amazing piece of tech.
And im guessing one main reason is Honeycomb because, lets face it, its what everyone wants in a tablet. Then why not buy a Nook? You complain lack of development, the Nook Honeycomb port is better than anything they'll ever do with the Xoom.
Still, just my opinion. I'm keeping my Tab until it dies, then ill get another one.

I will only get one of they decide to Open Source the OS. Otherwise I won't because I don't think there will be any developer support for it and new apps coming out.

I hope you live in a supported country.
I had one and sold it within a week.
It really sucks, and its slow.
My advice save the 200 and get something else.
There's a lot of great android tablets available for 200 usd.
The touchpad has done nothing for me except make me use webos gestures on my sgs2 and the xoom......

HP's biggest mistake was putting WebOS on it. I guess they learned nothing from the failed attempt called the Palm Pre.

Hey speaking of which, the Touchpad sounds like it will be pulled from the market completely. I suppose they were embarrassed when WebOS ran faster on the iPad when they gave it a test run. They are said to be working on another tablet, a 7 inch tablet I believe. Since it most likely will not be running WebOS, and since the only open source OS is Android... I think I know what will happen next! Hmmm...
I would personally never touch any tablet that isn't running the Android OS. Not the Playbook, the Touchpad, and definitely not the iPad!

+1 We think alike.

Android on Touchpad
Those tablets have an open bootloader, they can run android. It might be time to start a forum for doing just that?

The official line is that only the hardware side is dead, and the platform will continue for development & licensing. But no doubt an outright sale is preferred, given the strategic direction change with the $10B+ planned acquisition of Autonomy. Either way, WebOS will be mothballed for the foreseeable future, with no dev support.
The common line among pundits is that HP muffed the tablet & phone launches, with mediocre hardware and half-baked software, and decided to cut its losses. IMO, WebOS never had much of a chance, even if the launches went off well. On one side, there is the iPad with its polished UI and many apps. On the other, you have a legion of low-cost Android tabs. There is no breathing room.
HP's announced strategy for WebOS adoption was to piggyback on Windows as a shell in HP PCs & printers, where its vast market share is a strength. But WebOS' chance went from slim to none the moment MS announced that Win8 would encompass tablets, has a touch-friendly GUI, and run on ARM. The rationale to include it as a Windows touch-GUI was no longer viable. Thus the sole chance of WebOS penetration rests on the tablet doing well, which it didn't. But the tablet was never the main plan for WebOS, the PC was.
The bigger impact by far to HP's stock walloping is the announcement of exiting the PC market. Not sure what the thinking is here, to announce it way before it had a deal lined up. HP PC sales will suffer, especially going into the all-important back-to-school and holiday shopping periods. Apotheker has a lot to answer for.
The other shoe left to drop is when RIM would cry uncle with the Playbook.

HP should license the OS or certain features in it if they arent going to make it Open Source. The OS is awesome but they didn't put any money into hardware. Can you imagine a 4 in+ HTC device running WebOS? That would be awesome. The software is awesome but the hardware, marketing and acquisitions direction was horrible.
The purchased may have been for the patents since it was a steal. If we are lucky Google makes an offer they can't refuse on those patents.

Funny that the processor and gpu are great, seriously. It's a slight variation on the Qualcomm in the HTC Sensation/Evo3d, and I'm not sure there's anything in the mobile market (released) that outdoes the Adreno 220.

TouchPad fire sale at $100 (sold out for now)
http://slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?t=3220862
In the thread, people are buying them by the dozens, no doubt to fleabay them afterward. If you want one, be fast.

Does anyone know if Netflix is on this (homebrew/exploit/etc.) this would a partial dealbreaker (although I already bought it)?

I ended up ordering two 32gb TouchPads, the total cost came to $269, I could not go wrong for $134.50 for a device priced at $599 not even a year ago? It looks like they are all gone on HP's site now though.

the specs of the touchpad are not that impressive plus it boots very slow.. and its webOS not Android..and its the heaviest slate around !!
you can get an Android based tablet with the same specs for a better price.. unless someone ports Android to touchpad and HP will sell it for $150 or lower then it would worth spending the money on it.

You mean theres a slate heavier than the Xoom??

Soooo.. WebOS is dead. What now?

HP said it's going to try to find something to put WebOS on now that it's halting all device development (death of TouchPad, Veer, Pre3, et al). Did anyone see this coming? /sarcasm

This thread is as dead as WebOs LOL!

I just took a look at a german distribution shopping system, there are thousands of devices at the storage sites ... I think we will see them in a soon future on ebay wow on a bargain

yes a bargain! $149 32gb, $99 16gb

I just picked one up for $90 shipped...I'll take that all day long.

The rumor is that HP has a licensing deal already in place and the quarter million TouchPads sitting at Best Buy are going to be picked up by all the "geeks" (me) for $99 looking here for a way to wedge android on it...at least it's a flash player.
Personally, I'd love for Samsung to buy WebOS and start putting out awesome hardware to go with it.
But I love conspiracies.
Vote Ron Paul. lol

Picked one up. I hope that they give the ability to load an alternative OS, but it is doubtful.
I wonder if we can use the base code from the new Evo3D and Sensation on there because of the similar parts.

so what is going on in terms of development? is there any real hope for having custom firmware and running AOSP android on this or is that a pipedream without source code? Does source code even matter anymore if you completely replace the OS?

I have to say for the price, I am very much happy with my HP touchpad, just got a 32gb one for 150 at staples. I hope something does come of web os with some developers or maybe android someday but I am happy as it is for the price.

Well, opensource.palm.com has parts of the OS. Maybe someone can use that as a start?

WebOS + MeeGo = awesome os!
But seriously they're very close/related systems that it wouldn't take as much work as some would think.
Then they could probably name it Maemo
Which would allow Google to rename "ChromeOS" to "WebOS" like it implies.

I agree! I got this today thinking "with a community this motivated, surely they'll have android on it soon enough!". Now that i've used it, I like it a lot. The core apps are great! I love the e-mail and calendar apps and bing maps works very well for me. I have a samsung captivate so android is something I know fairly well but I don't feel like i'm missing too much with this tablet as it is. I think this is a diamond in the rough OS and if they open source it, it will really take off.

Good luck guys, I know it will be done before I even get to know webOS
Ok gentlemen, here is the situation. The HP Touchpad can now be had for $88. I just bought two of these capacitative touchscreened 1.2 ghz dual cored and gpu equipped tablets. With a 1gb of ram and all the other guts needed, IF YOU WANT A HP TOUCHPAD AS OF MIDNIGHT AUGUST 22nd LOOK HERE!
http://gifts.barnesandnoble.com/HP-...c=AFFILIATES-_-Linkshare-_-lw9MynSeamY-_-10:1
Fact: an Ipad 2 was displayed running web os.
Fact: Honeycomb's newest edition supports the Qualcomm dual core inside the touchpad.
Fact: HP may unlock the touchpad per se, make it open source, who know's what is going to happen to it, but I know this:
Fact: the market is going to be FLOODED with these tablets, for $100 thats insanely cheap for a good email and browsing tablet that has enough speed for normal users. So, I say we spin this messy situation around and find out how doable this is, because if it isn't hard, then we could potentially have a nice honeycomb tablet with a capacitative screen, nice capacity and specs, for $88 dollars. This is insane and we should capitalize upon it!
even if nothing comes of this, I think it's worth the $88 to use as an internet slate and watching stuff on trips, soooo cheap. I mean hell I can buy a chinese android tablet that is 2.1 and has a piece of crap resistive screen for $200!! Not to mention the 416 mh processors they come with! Yuck.
For that price, I bought two touchpads. Hell I'd even use them as remote displays, computer monitor is 120 bucks...

Ok guys so I looked into it a bit, and honeycomb 3.2 is the iteration with snapdragon, the touchpad CPU, support. I know that Google has had honecomb down under lock, so I don't know whether we can get a 3.2 build without porting that as well. What's crucial here, is that the Viewsonic G-tablet, an originally Froyo device, is running Honeycomb thanks to XDA port-masters. We need to pull our resources with the G-tablet guys, the honeycomb chefs with the Xoom and Transformer, and most importantly, someone who can get us the Qualcomm supported Honeycomb 3.2! If someone could brave the bee stings and steal it from the hive(Google? ), we can get our delicious honeycomb all over our new.....Touchcomb? Honeypad? HP Combpad? I like Combpad, but maybe...Clonepad...Copypad....gotta get a catchy name for this bandwagon, I would love to see every touchpad ever made converted to honeycomb. Such a useful piece of hardware that HP paid $322 to manufacture...
That and if everyone gave their Touchpad android I'd be known as the guy at the top of a very tall hill who chucked a small ball hoping to watch it turn into boulder...to crush Appletown. Wouldn't it be awesome if everyone bought a touchpad for $88 this Christmas and slapped android it, that would piss off Steve Jobs.

But Gingerbread/Ice Cream Sandwich/even full GNU/Linux like Ubuntu should be quite easy (as long as bootloader isn't locked in any way - I'm uninformed on that matter).
We have kernels for practically identical SoCs available already (HTC Sensation/Evo 3D). Only a matter of time I dare to say.

with the update to webos 3.0.2 68, any potential issues that may affect the ability to install android.... From what i have read on the touchdroid wiki page it looks like the device is completely open. Can anyone confirm there was no protection added... Has anyone done the update yet?

I tweeted to rootzwiki to come join us. Told them we are following their project. Dunno if they'll join but would be nice if they did.

Well I think having Android 2.35 on the Touchpad should be officially here soon:

Mind you, Honeycomb or Ice Cream Sandwich would provide a better experience.

If you pay close attention, the way he is holding the camera is not the same as what is on the screen, I personally, think he is just playing a fullscreen video, and almost touching the screen for what he does.

I think this guy might be legit

Don't think he's legit, too convenient and closed, probably just wants the money.
