They do not sell or share the code unless you buy their hardware!
I am working with HTC ( the OEM maker for Wallaby) to get a device with Linux in it or at least the ROM with the US RIL( radio stack layers) for US.
I have seen a device with it running and it is Great!
NTT DOCOMO is making a call to open source OS in all their devices! So there will be some interesting developments in this area!
Isn't it made for 3G (CMDA) SmartPhones?

So there is no way to kill my ppc-windows and install this minix-linux on my mda-II?
;-(((

WOW, the screen shots sure looks good! 8)
ahh, salvation from MS?
I e-mailed those MIZI guys... they probably don't have anything for us now, but notice, they sell some version of the OS for ipaq's on handango. So, obviously they do market their software.
If they get enough inquiries, they may be persuaded to implement something for us poor lost souls?
Ask them!!!! It's like voting, together we can affect them, most likely.

Hi... just a matter of interest, what do you mean by you're "working with HTC to get a device with Linux in it?"
As a few people including me are working on porting Linux onto the XDA, is there anything that might help us? :wink:
emailing and maybe calling is the best thing you can do.
Technically, this is a club. I ran a car club for 2 years (www.2gstratus.org if anyone is wondering, i created it, then sold it)
in our situations, we werent looking for operating system, gps or what ever, but we were looking for big ticket items (super chargers, body kits, etc...)
members emailed, called, what ever, and eventually, companys that normally would over look us, eventually began to develope $3000+ products for us
the more interest, the better ur chances.
there is a linux distrobution out there. friendlylinux.com i think
its form ARM. more specifically, the ipaqs
i had tried to install a version of it on my viewsonic v35, but it didnt work, the bootblaster kept crashing on me.
thats all i know
-Mario
It is really a shame for us to PAID for a LINUX disturubtion.......
Linux should be free, right? :twisted:
Linux - Familiar
There is familiar. XDA II & HP22XX long way off. Could be sooner, but NDA=$$$$

MIZI / Linux Response
Here's what the Mizi guy had to say (somebody more technical than me please convince him that it's a great idea to make this thing work on the XDA):
-------------
Hello Rene,
My product doesn't currently support T-mobile with following reasons;
- To support a certain target, it requires lots of engineerings as for a
commercial level.
- To support a certain target, it requres detailed HW information.
I love to support Tmobile however the chance isn't come yet

...and more and more...
I don't know about this one. HTC Should be able to get a new PocketPC Phone Edition device for 2005. However, I wonder if we'd ever be able to get our hands on this device...
Quand band is a must for NA.
VGA should have been included with te Himalaya.
Anyway, let's hope that HTC will get this device on the market in time, at a reasonnable price.
Talking about the price I think it could be embarrassing to see the XDA IV on the market only few month after you bought version III...! :?
Rumors said that XDA IV should have UMTS capabilities, and this skill could be interesting in Italy. At present we have one phone company offering this kind of service, but in a short time they should become three.
I think the XDA 4 is for "3" and the XDA 2 is not! I dont realy want a "3" phone, so I look at them as two different products.

Yeah, but it also says it's going to be quad band GSM, which is pretty relevant these days for international travellers.
It is real
MDA4 is real, because announced MDA3 is not made by HTC (as MDA1 and MDA2). T-Mobile ordered this piece of hardware somewhere in China and labelled it as MDA3, but it has nothing in common with maker of MDA1 and MDA2. T-Mobile did it just because he needed a response to Motorola MPx (WindowsMobile Communicator with the keyboard and WiFi). It't just a temporary solution - the real successor of MDA2 will be the MDA4 made by HTC again.
That makes more sence!
would be too much to ask them to include a built-in IR beamer for virtual keyboard ?? :wink:
The idea of having many built-ins looks apealing, but I personally prefer many interfaces (SDIO, CF, ... etc) for accessories that should allow you to get the latest models without the need to get a new device.
I'm confident as well that the day will come when we can replace the CPU and add RAM as we do with the current PCs

is it the official info :?:
That is it. It is being confirmed to people asking about WM7 rom update on the device. This info is given through HTC Iberia email support (Italy, Spain, Portugal) and will probably will be disclosed through other support centers shortly. So fear not, now if only someone could make it triple boot 6.5.3/7/Android.
Oh well...carry on.
EDIT: email confirmation from HTC Iberia Support a part of HTC Europe.
This has happened before, in Russia - and that time HTC head office rushed to contradict what HTC Russia tech support was saying. So you'll have to forgive me if I wait for an official announcement before cheering....
You are forgiven . I am not talking about a tweet by a russian that decided to jump the gun. This is a confirmed HTC email support that can be tracked through support number. If you are a owner you can contact them through email support and you will probably get the same awnser. This information is now available to all users though a date is not set, it will happen.
i will try and see

can you giv us a link for the reply
That would disclose HTC Global ContactUs System user login info, so no way.
But please contact Support and tell them HTC Europe is giving this info out and you can get your own response.
Can you paste the contents of the reply you got from HTC?
Google translator does a bad job at it, but you will get the picture. And I don't really feel like this is proof of anything, a liar would make up the text and put it here anyways, you folks are really jaded here ain't'ya...but just so you people turn those frowns around here it goes, this is the important part of the text HTC support sent me through email:
Prezado Cliente,
Obrigado por entrar em contato com o nosso centro de atenção ao cliente.
Estamos dedicados a fornecer-lhe o melhor serviço de qualidade e atendimento para todas as suas dúvidas e preocupações.
Você recentemente escreveu-nos sobre uma questão.
Quanto a sua Solicitação, gentilmente informamos que estamos trabalhando estreitamente com a Microsoft e planejando em trazer uma Atualização da ROM Windows Mobile 7,mas por enquanto não temos as informações de quando sera lançada.
Translates to "Thanks for contacting us. We are determined to be of service to you bla,bla,bla. As for your question, we inform that we are working along with Microsoft and plan to bring a update ROM for Windows Mobile 7, as of now we do not have a release date", this concerns the HTC HD2. OK? How happy are ya now?
i thought ms just announced there will be no upgrade for our beloved hd2?

Dear Customer,
Thank you for contacting our center customer.
We are dedicated to providing you with the best quality service and care for all your questions and concerns.
You recently wrote us about an issue.
As for his request, kindly inform that we are working closely with Microsoft and plan to bring a ROM upgrade Windows Mobile 7, but for now we do not have the information when it releases.
jamieeeee - no they did not. Some people there are just way too tweet happy.
EddyOS - That is what I meant with; Google translation does a poor job at it.

In MS's words (or there abouts) they have always stipulated that there are no current plans to update any window 6.x mobile devices to WS7P (including the HD2)
No where in any statement that I have read does it say that it will not happen, it's always that there are currently no plans (that they want to allow in the public domain). Until they do this they I would not definatly rule it out, however I still wouldn't keep your hopes up.
jrrigney - the belief that it would not happen was based on a tweet by WP7 dev team and some sites picked up on it. That along with the Microsoft rep that made the three buttons remark constructed the case.
Microsoft also said it was up to the makers to give a path to WM7, that was discarded for the most part on most sites.
Now HTC support is able to give the same information I state on the first post. This information is now status quo and released through their support team in Europe. If you own one get in touch with them. If you get a conflicting reply please state so. This is not hope related as of now. As of now you all have to keep the pressure on them and let's not allow that they do an "Adobe" on us.
Not that I really am in any way bothered by 6.5 pm the HD2, this thing rocks and visual studio, basic4ppc and openplug allow me to do whatever I want with it.
i asked in three different locations in europe and wating for answer
i asked now in all europe regions with all languages even i asked in the us support for the tmobile version
I sent a message too. I hope this one is really true; it's not the interface of WP7S that I want (looks not as good as Sense to me), but new apps is really really important.
hoss_n2 - cool. I hope they are speedy.
ozkaya - always good to have options ain't it.
are we going to have topics about whether HTC/MS will give us WM7 over and over until WM7 comes out?
Even if they say yes, we still have to wait so why can't we just wait. They could say yes today but in 3 months MS could change some code that might make it impossible for WM7 to run and they have to say no again.
It's far too early to be going round in circles with the yes/no debate.
Sorry for sharing
i got my firstr reply now wating for others
Thank you for your enquiry about Windows Mobile 7.
The HTC HD2 was released to the market with the Windows Mobile 6.5 operating system. HTC is unable to confirm that this or any device will receive a future firmware update which will involve an upgrade to the operating system.
We are excited about future developments and are working closely with many partners and will post further information on our website.
We are unable to comment further on current developments in mobile technology. Please review the latest news announcement below regarding Windows Phone 7 Series

I received exactly the same reply letter by letter when I contacted them a week ago. Maybe (and I really hope that) the location you have contacted hasn't updated the info yet. (It was UK for me)

Hi!
As the headline says, I'm looking for an android dev board that has a good availability on the market in Europe.
My requirements are:
* GPIO connectors
* At least one USB host interface
Basically I'm looking something like the ODROID-X, but this board seem to be hard to get. I'm looking for something similar and I need it within a few days.
Does anyone have some hints for me?
newpipe
Hi
I have the same problem and at the end I found the Ltouch Android development board from biemmeitalia.net. Never tried it before, but definitely interesting.
Did you buy the ODROID-X?
elle
At the end I've chosen the Wandboard Dual. For me it was the most interesting board because the devs support Android and Ubuntu Linux. But I'm still waiting for it...

Forgive me if this is in the wrong place. Since I can only presume after WiMM was purchased it was used as a development platform for wear, wouldn't I be able to use aWear with the WiMM ? It's a large presumption, but I emailed the company and they have not responded. Would be a nice touch to be able to use this, even if the processor is a bit under par as the company just kinda slammed the doors on owners and left little in terms of functionality on the table. Anyone have any news on this? I managed to scrounge up the drivers and anything I could dig up on the old packages for the unit. Thanks in advance.

An official port would surprise me greatly. It's possible that an unofficial version may made but the likelyhood of that depends on the fans of the device. Relatively few people have the WIMM One which means the chances of a strong developer or team of developers even having devices to build/debug on may be pretty low.
The other issue would be the specs. The CPU and RAM as well as the lack of Bluetooth LE and the lower resolution screen will likely be real challenges to overcome. The WIMM One currently runs a version of Android 2.1 so it wasn't built with kernel support for many of the features that Wear requires.

Thank you for the reply and thorough explanation.
well as long as someone made a port im willing to put my wimm up for testing. im really pissed at wimm labs for leaving us for dead when they got bought out.
my wimm is essentially a brick right now because it cant sync or be setup on the wimm website
I agree

They should have sent us all Moto 360s. Just crap because they sold the wimm one as a developer platform then
pulled the sdk and the store.
