So I've noticed the Windows tablets that are coming out mostly all have the same chipset we do, did that mean we might also be able to load Windows RT?

No because rt requires 2gb of ram and a resolution of 1366x768 and windows rt is licensed by Microsoft.

Ahh the required 2GB of ram I was unsure about that, I had noticed the other tabs having it but figured just trying to one up. Alright thanks, I enjoy Android anyways so I wasn't even looking to switch just thinking dual boot would be fun to poke around on.

Could in the future port desktop app to windows phone 8 ?
Possibly with windows rt apps. But not full x86 apps unless we get intel powered WP8 phones.

Any experiments with Ubuntu on Nexus 7?
I imagine Complete Linux Installer would work. It runs through VNC, but other than that it should be fine. Just depends on what you wish to do with it

My Nexus 7 is envious of the Touchpad. >_>
I imagine it would be really annoying to use on a tablet this small (compared to a 10" that is).

Very true, hence the reason why I never used it on my TF101. I'm just saying it would be even worse Android is meant for small screens, "normal" Linux distros are meant for normal laptop screens and desktops, also the biggest difference that separates the two are the interfacing options: Android is meant to use a touch interface, whereas Ubuntu and "normal" Linux distros are mean for a mouse and keyboard. I used to use Ubuntu on my Asus eeePC 1005HA before I got my TF101 and it was still a pain in the ass.
Yea, both devices would run Ubuntu fine, but you would need a mouse/keyboard for any sort of functionality.
I can't seem to install ubuntu on my Nexus 7, I'm using the app from the market. When I try to install it just says root access required to run this script. I have rooted my nexus with Super User installed and working.
Has anyone tried actually compiling a ubuntu compatible kernel?
I see there are some mentions of nexus7 kernel source.. perhaps ubuntu or mer/PA could be run natively
it will be done soon .,.,just wait and don't stop searching

Looks like it may be possible... eventually
I can't wait for it!

Has anyone gotten this to work. I have heard that some people have gotten it to work and some reviews on google play say it works perfectly. The video it shows you should be able to switch between windows 8 gestures/splashtop gestures.
I installed Windows 8 the other day and I'm loving it. But splashtop says windows 8 gestures work but I don't see that option. I've installed/re-installed the app on my tablet and the pc streamer. I've gone through all the settings and haven't found it either. Has anyone here successfully got it working?
Thanks.

There's no option for Win 8 gestures, they just work.

It doesn't work natively like it should. Swiping just moves the cursor. The only way I can semi swipe is doing hold and drag mode and using two or three fingers. The the way the surface tablets work and the video works isn't working that way.
Everything is updated. I'm sorry if I sound stupid and if it's supposed to just work. But for some reason it does not for me.
I have the same problem. No Windows 8 touchscreen mode like others say.

It does work I have it. At first its cool but after a while gets boring. If you want windows 8 on a tablet get a windows 8 tablet . Which is exactly waht im about to do sell my tf300 And buy me a surface notjing beats having the real thing.

It's like the other guy says there is no option and it just natively doesn't work. The smoothness of android and swiping between screens or using the browser is perfect. The only way I can somewhat imitate it on windows 8 splashtop is to use two fingers to scroll and I think 3 to swipe across the screen and even then it's not very fluid.
By any chance did you just update to the newest firmware or are you on the previous one or an earlier one? I updated mine. But you are correct. I suppose if you really want the true windows experience get a windows 8 tablet/surface rt/ or surface pro. Eventually I probably will but I still really like android.
Works for me, it's just slow and laggy

I know OpenGL ES 3 needs to support it first, I also know that in order for the OUYA to support it(hardware wise), there are some pre-req's. The apk from Play works, but of course crashes when loading a game. Is there any chance of getting support for our OUYA's?

This isn't the first/only revision of the OUYA, so shouldn't we be planning ahead? If we can dev now, get things at least running on OUYA. When the latest & greatest OUYA comes out, things can implemented and fine tuned! Whadda think?

I think that because it's being developed for android in general, little work needs to be done to get it running on the 'ouya 2'. But it's relatively pointless to have it running on the og ouya. There's virtually no difference between the ouya and any other Android device...

Good point, you're pretty confident about it running on OUYA 2. Is there hardware specs on OUYA 2 yet?

Nvidia gave funding to Ouya, so probably tegra 4

I have a fast custom built PC:
i7 3770k, 16gb ram + GTX650Ti graphics and it ever struggles at times to emulate some games using Dolphin.
Therefore I would say Ouya 2 whatever specs it may be will not come close to achieving this.
I cant see this being viable in a portable device for several years.
Not sure why someone is developing this just now when we still cant perfectly emulate N64 / Dreamcast etc.

Does it struggle on native resolution, or do you have the graphics turned up (on your PC)?
I think developing Dolphin for Android is a great idea. Even if we can't use it now, it will be very nice to use as soon as the tech is available.

+1 the more the marrier. Ps2 emulation would be sweet now too since its a dated platform.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Neither of these will work well, they are difficult to emulate on n Pc, ps2 requires more power to emulate well than the Wii does... I can't get Gt4 to run well to save my life on my i7-680, with a mediocre graphics card (that still outperforms the Ouya by a long shot) Wii emulation might be possible at a very low resolution if OpenGL ES 3.0 ever works on the Ouya, and if the software is heavily optimized, and if we are significantly over clocked.

except that the cpu/gpu is not underclocked at all and has an active cooling solution, which cannot be done in other android devices due to size/form factor, and power restrictions for portability.
It is after all it is a t33 tegra which is the fasted one available and uses ddr3 ram at 1600mhz.
Still much slower than a Snapdragon 600, which is the only thing that will run this right now (and even that runs it poorly)

by the numbers I can agree, except that the T33 on this particular platform doesn't need to be throttled or "woken up". If the Ouya had a snapdragon 600 setup in this fashion, I believe it would be amazing, but the underlying problem in this case isn't the hardware, it is the gimped version of the OS.
If we see an CM version for the ouya, I believe we could see a renaisance with the device (as with others that have gotten this treatment).
Oh and I got my wife's i3 based intel 3000 graphics sony laptop to run Super Smash Brother Melee, so low end pc hardware can do it.
Hi, I just stumbled upon this news http://store.steampowered.com/livingroom/SteamOS/
You can play all your Windows and Mac games on your SteamOS machine, too. Just turn on your existing computer and run Steam as you always have - then your SteamOS machine can stream those games over your home network straight to your TV!

Basically the concept is the same with nvidia shield streaming, BUT no need for keppler, I hope somebody will make a dual boot system for shield for this new OS. or better if nvidia can make something that enables playing steam games natively.
Will never happen with nvidia they are too closed and that doesn't give you a reason to upgrade to an nvidia GPU.

The streaming stuff will likely only be available for newer Nvidia hardware. AFAIK they never stated that all features would be available on all hardware.
This would probably never happen as Valve would need to release an ARM port of SteamOS, which I don't see happening any time in the near future.
