Already posted in the Folio thread...
Toshiba is very new to Android!
But i agree that their support for software issues on Folio is equal to null!

Buyer beware, try before buy.
Sure, just like the Folio it might have great hardware (except screen) but I
would not trust.
Every 10" Android has ****ty screen and bad software. They may be able to replace the screen, add $200 to the price and place Honeycomb on it but will
that mean its bugfree ??

We are talking about a new OS on new hardware, most sure that it will have serious bugs. The problem is not the bugs, because most of software have bugs and android is no exception, the problem is that Toshiba is not interested as far as we know to correct it, if they were interested Folio will be working fine by now.
But software development is not only about correcting errors but also about improvement. I don't see any of it from Toshiba until now.
screw the new folio! i'd love to see THIS INSANE GUI ported to our folio
"we recorded a blazing 2,616 score on the Quadrant test" <- *giggle*

This guys are using a one (with a tegra 2 inside) to powerup a deskop enviroment! This is brilliant!
This sure demonstrate that Folio as enough power to have decent software running in it! To sad that Toshiba doesn't understand this!
And isn't Honeycomb is Froyo!

Man, think about the possibilities if we have honeycomb and some software like this.
Than we would be possible to use our folio as desktop by using the dock and connecting to a tv or pc screen

I think this new folio looks great. Only hope the device building material won't be as cheap as our folio...
Does this new tablet got a name ?
More rumors here
Who would thrust Toshiba again?
I won't. They don't support their products. Hardware wise they are okay, but what's the purpose of having a tablet if it doesn't work well with the shipped software. We are still waitting for official flash support. Thank God we have FolioMod!
Many manufactures are suffering from this same problems, good hardware but aweful software.
Sure is pretty, but will it be usable?
what is its cpu?
I have been thinking that it would be possible to get flash on the LG Optimus V by using an emulator of some sort like qemu or some other or mabey even built into a rom. Basically it would just have to emulate an armv7 processor on the armv6 processor or mabey even porting a Rom with support for flash to the OV. I know that it may be slow but still... I don't have any android programming know how so I can't do it... but if someone wants to make one or at least try to that would be awesome!! I just thought that I would put my thoughts out there for the whole world to hear. If anyone thinks this is even.remotely plausible then say so. I'll be looking toward to see if anyone can do it! Good Luck!
Now you're thinking in Android! Hahaha though I'm sure Negative Nancy will soon be here to state the obvious how its not supported on ArmV6... Oops, guess I beat them to the punch lol
Even if somebody makes flash possible on our devices, think how slow it would be. We don't need flash, good flash experience is for the 1ghz+ devices. O1 is already a very good device for its money, let's not ask too much from it.
It's like buying a low-cost car: it works fine, but don't ask racing behaviour from it.

Mabey it would be, but even if you could flash lite on it... I mean the HTC Hero has basically the same secs yet it can run flash lite through the HTC UI roms... And plus I'm pretty sure you can emulate a Linux "flavor" that has flash support and run flash so why not just emulate the armv7 processor?
This is probably a dumb question in the wrong section but are there any reasons outside of something like a locked boot-loader that Android couldn't be compiled to run on the HP touchpad tablet?
I was just wondering the same thing. The CPU is a SnapDragon so the hardware at least has the potential to work...
I would imagine that it would be quite difficult because you would need to build your own kernel and custom version of android.

Im not a Developer or anything but I would Assume that we Can wait for a Honeycomb Tablet to come out with Similar specs (I.E Same Processor and Ram) and port a Version of that to the TouchPad. It should work if Running HC 3.2 since it supports different Screen sizes too. I would assume only minor tweaking would be needed. But thats just me Guessing.
Sorry but I was thinking the opposite. I would kill to get WebOS running on my new Moto Photon!
ouchpad
+1 for android on HP ouchpad

especially now since ouchpad is dead
I think this is going to become a much more important question, now that HP is getting out of the consumer hardware business and WebOS is going to become unsupported very soon. I think a dual-core snapdragon would be more that enough to run 2.3, and the aspect ratio (4:3) makes it a lot more attractive to me than the existing 16:10 stable of Honeycomb tablets.
If the source code for Ice Cream Sandwich is released to the public, hopefully this can happen. For now though I hope someone will be interested enough to pick up a cut-rate Touchpad (prices are likely to plummet now that Retailers will be dying to offload them) and attempt to get CM7 on it.

due to LTE:
Samsung Galaxy S II Hercules
Samsung SHV-E120S Galaxy S II LTE
use the modem-less AP8060 that the touchpad uses. they would be the target candidates to port to touchpad. could maybe do boot ->boot like IOS jailbreak where you strap webos to boot android.
Since AP8060 is SOC (all in one) - good chance of this working.
I would put up some cash to see this happen... really would... WebOS is nice.. the Hardware is nice.. but AS IT IS... is as it will be and it just doesnt have enough in it for me to enjoy it. Not enough quality apps.. and what happens when things need updates to make them work properly. call whom ever you want ... no one is there to pick up the phone they have all be WFR by hp lol
I really hope someone can get Android on those Touchpads. The big box retailers are dumping them right now. 16GB for $99.99 and 32GB for $149.99.
i know its not related but since its being sold for 99$im thinking of buying it the only question is that does it run divx movies without converting
id donate $20 towards this
The 16gb in Canada is going for $99....well worth it if a port was possible or in the near future!!!
http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/19/let-the-liquidation-begin-hps-16gb-touchpad-on-sale-for-99/
It was possible with the HD2, with a little effort, Android will become possible!
someone please port android to this device!
What is the over-under on this getting Android? Is it worth a poor man's money?
I'm veerrryyyy interested too! This would be awesome.

I would want something with Android... that is my main concern. So, you think that it will get a port?
hello to all apologize if posting this in the wrong place, and sorry for my english google translator.
I am very close to buying a touchpad but I'm unsure whether to buy it or kindlefire, even if you think a player no longer manufactured there will still be many hacks, and developing roms for it?
ICS will be possible on the touchpad, there are many people developing for it?
I thank all
Well this can do all a kindle but kindle can't do all this can. While we have some issues with drivers, over time it will be fixed and yes, will have ics. Kindle can't have WEBOS now...

The kindle is garbage. If you want to see the wonders of the Touchpad, check out my videos:
http://www.youtube.com/user/reverendkjr?feature=mhee
The Touchpad is definitely better hardware wise. You are getting a 9.7" screen (same size as the ipad) instead of only a 7" one. You also get a full GB of RAM on the Touchpad instead of only 512MB. My phone has the same CPU and GPU that the Kindle Fire does and on GTA 3 there is some lagging. On my Touchpad with CM7 the game is smooth.
ok thank you all, I'm convinced to buy the touchpad, but only one question to those who already have it, all games and applications to run on android Cyanogen mod? there are still some compatibility issues.
And it is possible for easy installation of the dual bot WEB OS and android I liked the interface of the Web OS, did not want to be without him, and he accepts some sort of memory card? these are still my doubts

The only way to install android is dual boot with webOS. You cannot remove webOS.
The TouchPad has no expansion slot. You can use a USB flash drive with a janky set up using a USB on the go adapter, USB y splitter, and USB power source. So, basically you are stuck with what ever version you get, 16gb or 32gb.
I greatly prefer webOS, so I don't spend much time in android ... Until there is a tablet version of android available. I have not had any compatibility issues with the few apps I have installed.

as long as your fairly tech savvy, i would go with the TP. The only thing that would worry me if i were you, is the tutorials are all written in english so that may make things tougher. o ya, and good luck finding one unless your looking for a used (and maybe overpriced) touchpad.

I have read and understood the tutorials I've done some installations of Cyanogen on other devices, then I am completely noob, and my reading of good English and have a greater problem with writing.
I'm buying it right now, here I pay 800 reais to 425 dolares worth in the 32GB version, I know it is expensive compared to prices here in Brazil over U.S. prices are still absurd tablets.

Couldn't agree with you more. I own two regular e-Ink Kindles.
They are very enjoyable to use for what they're designed for: reading
books.
Out of curiosity, I pre-ordered the Kindle Fire. When it arrived, I was
very hopeful. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a piece of *******(sorry)
It's just not ready for prime time.
I currently have XRON's Android on my Touchpad and I am extremely
happy with it. (until ICS comes along, of course )
Read Leo's thread it has all you need to know. I never flashed a Rom before and have been using his for a month with great results. Just follow the instructions.
Want your WiFi to work correctly?

there is some evolution in Cyanogen 9 for the touchpad?
Ok, just wanted to put this up here.
I come from the legendary HTC HD2 so I know nothing is impossible from win6.5 to android is huge
Do you guys think a port of win8 will be possible? i mean they said 1gb of RAM is enough to run win8... and 1.5GHz should not be a problem if Atom is 1.6GHz, since we can overclock it and stuff..
so, is it possible, or whats talking against it?
Technically, its "possible". But nobody is going to take the time to port Windows8 to the Flyer. Windows is closed source, making porting it over extremely difficult. Plus, there would be no drivers to make the hardware work with the OS. I'm no developer, but the enormous amount of work to overcome these obstacles make them infeasible, compared to simply buying a Windows 8 device (when they become available).
On the other hand, there are developers who will try just for the fun of it. Will it be usuable to the general public? I doubt it....
Somebody tell Microsoft!
Hey this thing is already running a version of Linux, you see any ports to a full blown linux tablet?
Nice idea thou, the new Windows 8 looks to be finger friendly
yeah i know it will be a pain in the arse, but hey - some people like to do this just for the fun and recognition - you know, be the one who finally managed to hack win8 and port it to a android device.
its been done before, and i think many will be donating to help.
its a fun thing.. imagine dual boot
You could install Ubuntu on the Flyer, but for what , I don't know.
Read lots of issues and complaints about W8. Its a ubuntu mini wannabe. Its a nightmare on a pc and probably going to be classified as a cousin to vista. Windows is a mess structuraly compared to Linux, which is Android.

There are a few reasons why it will never work, most of them people already mentioned
1. You can't compare a 1.6Ghz Intel x86 processor to a 1.6Ghz ARM one, the Flyer is well below the minimum specs.
2. Microsoft will not publicly release their ARM builds, they will only sell them directly to OEMs unlike the desktop version of Windows 8.
3. It's closed source.
4. If someone does miraculously manage to get it running (hey this is xda), functionality will be extremely limited as there is no legacy app support for ARM.
You could install Ubuntu like DigitalMD said and put Win8 on a VM in there.... doubt it would boot though and you would have to find chuck norris and make him round-house kick the lag.
From ALL of the Tablets on the Market, I have checked out ALL of them. The one that I'm the happiest with is the Sprint HTC EVO View Tablet. It's the LOUDEST of ANY & ALL Tablets on the market. Anywhere from a little bit to a lot louder. I know that it's just a 7" screen, but it has the best sound. I would like to get Windows 8 on the HTC EVO View Tablet. i hope that ANYONE can come up with a solution to this. If anyone can come up with a solution to this, then I would put it on the HTC EVO View Tablet ASAP!
It's not possible. Doesn't meet min specs.
We installed it at work on an HP Slate that was running Win7, and it constantly freaked out about the resolution not being high enough. If a device that was meant to run Windows OS is unable to run Win8, it's not going to happen on an Android device. At least not officially.
And considering we can't get an ICS build running, it's a pretty good bet we'll never get Win8 to run.

I have a slate 500. Did you set it to the higher resolution? Win 8 should work, although the screen is a bit off at the higher resolution.
A bit off topic, I know...
Well that was just one aspect of it.
We weren't able to set the resolution any higher then the max 1024x600. It just wouldn't allow anything higher. It *runs* but anytime you click/swipe etc it vomits error messages.
Still, so many challenges keeping it from happening on the view/flyer. It's a pipe dream.
Yeah this ain't gonna happen. Already got a very good , usable OS.
I"d spend my time improving that and creating better apps
Is it possible looking at hardware? Yes, I think so. The architecture should be fine, as there is an ARM version.
However, what do we need?
-Drivers for Windows 8, and if we want to make this work out correctly, we do need the ability to write drivers ourselves, which is a lot of work.
-A custom bootloader. I hope that, after we get ICS to boot on the Flyer correctly, we can work on a bootloader, as it would be really nice for a real tweakers-tablet, so there might be a possibility for this (not giving an ETA, as I don't know how much work it is and it will take a lot of time, don't get excited on this at all...)
And besides, when we can work on a native Linux-distribution, I don't think it's worth it to work on W8, especially because every way we get it running is not legal. Oh, and let's not forget the work it takes to get it to boot, as it would take quite some magic to get a Windows kernel booting.

Some people do things because their told it can't be done.

Technically possilbe, but it's extreemely unlikely to happen. Especially since windows is in no way open source, and the flyer doesn't have that many modders.
