I wonder where they will get the linux drivers for the Touch Pro hardware from?
It would be great if we could run Linux and switch to Windows mobile if neccessary to take advantage of all those programs out there.
Somebody recently hacked the iPhone and was able to select whether to run iphone OS or Windows Mobile at bootup. This sounds like a good idea but I don't know if it is possible.

that was a hoax, but it will be interesting to see if android can run on my phone! i have no idea about the driver database... but its supposed to be 2.something gigs and the os will be around... 60 megs?...

woo hoo.. it's android time.

bump......

iphone running wm? haha they got me with that one for a sec to i just couldn't beleive it and then i found out it was a hoax hahaha.....
yay android time...... we may have it out before the release in its full power yet

I'm SOOO excited about this!!!

Lack of Exchange breaks the deal for me.
I can't live without Exchange. It is totally engrained in my life. I was thinking of going the other direction. Since it is basically a Diamond Pro running Linux. What's to keep us from installing WM6.1. $176 is one hell of a price for a Diamond Pro.

actually I read somewhere that an exchange app was already up in the android market...

So basically the phones with most ram should be better for complete MOD of OS right? My finger tips are itching to get my hands on Touch Pro, are there any other US phones that might be ideal for an Android overhaul?

I've been watching closely. There is only oneway support for calendars.

[Q] Windows mobile 7 ?

so i was wondering, is there a windows mobile 7 ROM that can be installed on the Desire HD. and what about Dual boot Android / WM7? thanks.

Not a chance, Buy a HD7 if you want Windows Mobile.

I just /facepalm when I see these threads... Everytime.

There's nothing to facepalm.
There wasn't less effort to port Android on Windows devices, but it happened, and we have Windows-based devices fully running Android.
But I don't this happening in the near future because there was a need to port Android to Windows devices, because Windows sucked balls.

Not using the search function, and not Googling and making your fist post a question that has been asked before is most definatly a /facepalm.

Windows 8 on TouchPad

Now wouldn't that be the ****

Wouldn't that be something if windows ran on the iconic HD2 that i just sold for my sensation LOL. I'll never unestimate the power of that device

Truthfully, I think that might be the first thing that the devs can't pull off... The again, Windows 8 will have ARM support (read: no legacy apps, where 99.9% of windows x86/64 bit).... so we'll wait and See.

Dont get your hopes up, its closed source.
most likely, it's not happin'n

I tend to agree that it won't happen, people will try, they might make progress but it seems unlikely.

I think I'd rather just wait for official Windows 8 tablet hardware. They'll no doubt be superior (since most will run Tegra 3 if not 4), and who knows what they'll do with the digitizers. I'm hopeful that we'll get a Wacom digitizer that handles both capacitive touch and resistive with extensive pressure sensitivity for use in digital illustration. Time will tell.

Yeah but how about W8 running on a 100$ piece of hardware? I mean how inexpensive can you get?

Why do people worry so much about Windows ARM version not running legacy apps?? New apps will be created for Windows 8 that integrate with Metro, I'm pretty sure that all respectable software companies and even independent developers are starting to plan and make ARM based apps for Windows 8. Windows 8 will be powerful, and software companies need to start developing the next generation of applications eventually.
ARM is the future, x86 is done and I refuse to buy an Intel tablet or next gen AMD all-in-one. And please don't tell me you want to open your excel spreadsheet on your tablet on your way home on the train, on, cause it's not 'cool'. /vent

Don't you know the difference between Legacy apps and New apps?
and for your information, ARM may or may not be the future. Only time will tell.

yet. it will get arm support and then some. windows 8 looks more mature than android 3.0 and i love android.
i am using WP7 on my HD2 and it is kinda growing on me. Looks like microsoft is finally doing something right

I Can't wait till the ARM version leaks, or will it ever since it's not going to be sold as a standalone?

Mikey$oft doing something right?
Well I had faith in them when I got my HD7 running WP7 and installed Windows 7 for the first time.... Basically they had me from the 'Start'
But to be honest I'm using Windows 8 now and I can't explain it but it just 'feels' different, kinda like my cell phone and PC had a baby.

Well I know that the hp touchpad wont be able to run it. A developer said it would be impossible.
I really dont think microsoft will allow you to load win 8 tablet on any tablet, im sure there going to try and control everything

Saw that earlier today as well... hoping that gets leaked too.
Windows 8 on the Touchpad would be great.

Has anyone heard of a win8 arm beta program?

Possible, yes
Legal, no

Unlikely, as win8rt will only come as builds dedicated to a specific device (with that device) and the win8rt bootloader requires a secureboot-enabled EFI bios with _only_ the MS keys embedded. (E.G. how often did windows CE get hacked onto a device that never had it)
_If_ we see win8rt on other T3 Kai platforms, that end up exploitable _and_ people are able to hack out the EFI secure bootloader stuff, then _maybe you'll see a ropey build do the rounds, but I wouldn't count on it

No and why would be the answer.
Windows 8 won't run windows apps and it's a step back to the dark ages in UI design.
Microsoft have also locked have ensured that windows 8 will only boot on approved hardware with signed EFI certs. This also means that a windows 8 ARM tablet won't boot anything else either.

Windows 8 RT sucks anyway, even if it was ported most people wouldn't care because it's RT and Arm based so it's not like your installing diablo 3.
now if someone releases an intel x86 android tablet, thats another story.
Still, can't wait for Microsoft Surface Pro, that thing looks amazing.

As everyone has said, It is not possible. Even if someone got the EFI to pass, windows RT was not designed for tegra devices.

Questions go in the Q&A section

Yea. But can it run Crysis? :laugh:

The RT model uses tegra 3.

Any Nexus forced to run Windows would die of shame... Might as well ask if it would run Ios6.

This has troll written all over it. Shame on you OP..lol.

sorry... (hangs head in shame)

Don't be ashamed. This is a very legitimate question.
Windows 8 finally brings a true mobile windows. And it would be awesome if the nexus could dual boot into it.
Now Windows 8 RT kinda sucks ass since outside of office your just running windows phone apps basically though i'm sure that'll change eventually.
Plus, windows 8 is not really meant for a 7" screen, more like 10" minimum right now.
but as it's been said, it'll probably never happen due to many different reasons.
my advice, save up for a surface pro thats coming out in december/january

HD2-like Tablet?

I would like to buy a 7'/10' tablet. Please, put your recommendations here: which one would be the most like HD2?
Specially of receiving this kind of devs attention (like HD2 does)?

Well logically the tablets with the best software support would be the Nexus 7 and soon the Nexus 10. Without checking, I think I can still safely assume that the development on XDA for the Nexus 7 is huge with such a low price point and relatively high specs. I don't really understand what you mean by 'like the HD2' though, do you just mean a lot of development?

However Nexus doesn't have SD card slot, does it? This very serious disadvantage!
Specially when we want hd2's NativeSD implemented in our tablets too...

Dell Streak 7.... buti i'm not able to made gsm voice call

However has Streak 7 any decent open source devs' support?
In fact it has very weak display, hasn't it?
