Yes, yesterday I've been looking forward for this, there was a countdown on ubuntu.com. The OS seems to be cool, let's wait for the CES where they will show a phone

yuh indeed the lockscreen especial and UI looks fantastic. Since it uses same kernel and drivers as android maybe someday we could see it running on our devices :laugh::good:

I guess they will release images for the nexus devices (Ubuntu is running on the nexus 7 but it's the desktop version)
I think we will have to wait what happens :good:

The minimum specification for running it need at least 1GHz processor with 512 ram and 4-8GB eMMC + SD. So i guess this will not able to run to our devices because small internal memory size

I belive that the internal memory flaw can be bypassed.After all,we do have extreme devs
I have luck because every new phone i buy,the Devs that used the device i used bought and develop the new device i buy.

Yes!!!! Finally i have found my next phone :fingers-crossed:
i have been searching for the next phone that can beat my Nokia N900 :good: .....i think this is the best replacement for The GODFATHER N900 :highfive:

Hmm... Ubuntu for our phones looks amazing ui like ubuntu dekstop and fast its kind someting new . Interested when we can try it on our phones becouse its fits in minimal system req. and with our developers i think we could install ubuntu in memory card thet how its should fit for our phones

real good news for mobile lovers
waiting for Ubuntu

Really Lookin' Great,,
But,,maybe scream in my internal memory,,

The UI is amazing! And plus the swipe from left side which showing a shortcut to other apps! I like it most!
Sent from my WT19i using xda app-developers app

Looks awesome, but it'll be a long time until our devices get it, if they do... Sony won't release it for xperia 2011, that is obvious, maybe they'll grab it for 2012-2013 and edit it, since Ubuntu let manufacturers do that, but i don't think we'll get official one. Maybe a port, hopefully, with our awesome devs will be possible! The internal memory shouldn't be a problem since it acts like a sdcard

ooooh yeah. That's gonna be so awesome.

Too sweet! I can hardly wait.

Nexus One vs. HD2

In my view, the Nexus and the HD2 are the two best phones available at this time. I am not taking the Desire or Legend into consideration as I view them as Nexus variants. (However I know the desire has a slight edge with a little more ram.)
So, what do you think? Is the HD2 too big for you? Is the Nexus one to basic/plain?
Vote, and comment, I'd like to hear what people think.
I'd also like to note I am not asking which phone is better out of the box, all variables come into play. Customization, Custom ROMS, style, etc.

vs.
Neither tbh,both were tested on the gadget show along with the hero and the milestone.The hero came up tops over all the others,Having previouly owned a touch HD i would never go back to WinMO.Far to many windows error messages if you are going to get one of those i would go for the nexus but personally id have a Hero
In a word "Evo". Google it. It's an HD2 running Android (and has some hardware improvements)

I'm quite suprised to hear the hero beat both. I don't think the hero has any chance between the HD2 nexus. I currently own a hero, and while its a great phone, the nexus alone smashed the hero in processor speed, RAM, screen size and general features. The only plus for the Hero IMO are physical buttons.
As for the Evo, seeing as its a Sprint phone that leaves almost 90% out of the loop.
WinMo 6.x sucks, and I wouldn't want the HD2 for that reason. However, it's got the little Windows button at the bottom, which tells me that HTC is starting to build their handsets to be compliant with Windows Phone 7. The HD2 might allow you to run WinPho7 leaks/custom ROMs a lot more readily than other WinMo phones.
That said, as curious as I am about WP7, there's no way I'd buy a WM6.x phone just to satisfy future curiosity. Just food for thought.
in proccessor speed yes buit when it was down to apps,camera and other bits they said the camera was way too dark and quite often blurred.They liked the nexus OS but also said hero is due the same and the HD2 was better at camera but they didnt like WinMO and preferred the App market

Android 3.2 Honeycomb would be hitting the Tablets soon, so what changes can we expect.
The major update includes support for QualComm New Dual Core Snapdragon Processors (HTC Flyer Soon will get Android 3.2 HoneyComb) along with support for the Mighty NVIDIA Tegra 2.
Other updates includes some bug fixes and updates for in-house Honeycomb Applications like Movie Studio, Movies, Music and widgets.
This shall be the last update for the HoneyComb Android Series, and shall mark arrival of the Ice Cream Sandwich .
Sources, also report about the MOTOROLA XOOM would be receiving the update in couple of weeks.
Source:- GizMee.com
This thread really doesn't add any real information beyond what was already posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133057
I figure your nick and the website should probably be pronounced like "gizmo". But when I first read it, all I could think was "jizz me".
Just sayin.
Meh.. I won't hold my breath for these updates.
well hope it comes soon
Considering June is almost over, I think we are looking at August or September for a real time frame.
I've read that HTC are expected to release details of the 10" tablet next week at an event in London.
The 10" table, currently labeled Puccini is said to run Honeycomb. The same report suggest that HTC may also use the event to show the Flyer running Honeycomb.
I'll see if I can find the article again. Having said that it was just an internet news report, so you read into it what you will.

+1 for that, I will wait for a working product in Honeycomb, just give me root for now.
Htc is awesome for waiting to get it right. The flyer is great as is.
Still waiting
Thanks for good news, I'll wait
waiting with my figer cross
I hope it will come also with S-Off!
I'm not really waiting, I like GB and can wait a looonggg time for HC to actually mature.
Sense on Flyer really rocks but I hope that in this long summer we can have an Honeycomb device, especially for tablets 7"
What will Honeycomb really add to the Flyer? I have found the Sense UI to be one of the best out there, and a pleasure to work with. I realize it provides full screen space utilization, but what's the value to that when app development has been so glacial?
It is not about Sense as it is enhancement above Android OS. It is about OS upgrade, "under the hood". OS upgrade always brings new functionalities, bug fixes, new kernel... That's why I want Honeycomb on Flyer and Gingerbread on Desire (and all future Android updates). If I need to choose between Sense UI and OS updates which will bring me bug fixes, I will always choose OS updates.

As the actual HC app list is still small at this time, I hope there is good compatibility with GB still.
What I really need is working PPP encrypted VPN! It has not worked on any Android so far!

I agree fully. I have a Honeycomb tablet and the View gets more use and is more responsive and work-ready than the Acer. Don't get me wrong, I love some things in Honeycomb, but love all of the HTC Sense variation done by the View.

[Q] Iphone OS on Android

Now , i have a iphone 3g . i dont use it anymore ofcourse but , i had android on it and it ran smoothly . you think there would ever be a way for us to get the iphone OS on our android phones ? Thanks
Even if someone port IOS5 into an Atrix, I'll be the last one to install it.
IOS is designed to fit into a very small number of devices (Iphone 2, 3G, 4...) unlike android wich can be installed in severals de devices. If someone port it into one device it will not necessarily be working on another one.

If you want an iPhone-like interface, wait for MIUI. Except MIUI is wayyyy better than iOS.
I think most people wanted to port Android to an iPhone because of Apple's hardware. It cannot be denied that Apple makes an awesome phone hardware-wise. Other than that, I can't imagine why anyone would want to port iOS unless they wanted a larger screen......or.......

There's something in development here:
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cmwdotme/iemu-an-open-source-ios-device-emulator
Strictly speaking from technicalities, iOS itself is out of the question because it isnt open source, but an API compatibility layer similar to WINE on Linux may be possible... but good luck finding someone willing to put in the time needed to make it work. Even Wine was in development for a very long time before it became usable and still has issues, and Android doesnt have the severe lack of application support that Linux had which prompted Wine's genesis.
That said... why? Everything the iPhone has (aside from a few games, perhaps) has an Android equivalent. As mentioned, most want Android on the Iphone because of the excellent build quality.
I would flash the stock ROM a thousand times over before even considering using iOS on my Atrix. My girlfriend has had iPhones for years and I'm tired of pointing out to her the million things it can't do. Android is so much more customizable.
I've seen some videos on Youtube of people running Android on the iPhone, but I don't think we'll ever see iOS running on non-Apple phones. Nor do I ever want to see it happen.

Lapdock 100 confirmed on Engadget

It basically looks like the Webtop Lapdock, but with chrome accents, and can connect to a number of high end Moto devices, such as the newly announced Atrix 2 and also our Photon, via what appears to be a dongle. Launches exclusively on AT&T on Oct. 13th followed by launches at other locations (Sprint?) later this month. No price yet.
Anyone interested? This guy is.

That's great news!
Webtop is quite slow, not productive enough. I always wonder whether moto is going to seriously speed it up.

From a hardware standpoint, webtop performs ok when compared to an equivalent netbook. Not too long ago those single core Atom netbooks could barely play youtube vids. The eyecandy is it main hindrance and the patch work coding doesn't help.
I've already discussed possible improvements with moto and there response was pretty much "webtop's awesome, everybody loves it, the hardware can't support a real desktop enviroment and who would want that anyway." My rebuttal was to show them my Photon running, at that time, a prerelease of Ubuntop using the lapdock. "We don't get it." was what I got in return at which point I walked away.
I have a single core 1.6 intel atom netbook and im sure my photons hardware blows it out the water lol. I need a full fedora distro on this thing = perfect phone
That's pretty legit. I might actually ponder getting one if I don't get a tablet instead.

You know what, I had an Asus TF. Great device, great support. I traded it and went back to my NC running CM7 via Phirenook. 7 is such a good form factor, I slide it into my binder and have my text/web resources at my fingertips, right beside my notes. I have magazines on there and books, and with that screen...things are easy to read.
That being said, I'm hoping a 7" model of Xoom 2 is announced and or the Galaxy Tab 7 is price appropriate, because there is something incredibly utilitarian about a tablet the size of a paperback. My $.02.
Edit: Locks like the Lapdock is going to run $249. Hmmmm.

Ah, the "100" was misleading - wish that was the price

The tablet built for G2 owners

For some reason LG has failed to advertise the LG G pad , The ui is identical to the G2 and you can use the qpair app to pair them together, I can even send text messages through my phone. The tablet is basically an 8.3 inch g2 with an expandable micro sd slot , dual speakers and the same beautiful screen as the G2. I just bought mine today and It is great. I came across it here on xda tonight and went to best buy and bought it. I am hoping that some of our awsome devs here will look into picking up one of these bad boys.

I think a name change would be good. Maybe my mind wanders too much but when I think "G Pad" I think "sexy undies for women on their dot". G Tab or G8 or something else.

Was 249 the other day when I picked it up. And yes the 600 was a little let down but it performs nicely.

I'm about to buy a tablet and Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.4 Pro is surely the better choise at its price than the gpad 8.3, specswise. On the other hand the qpair funcionality is way too cool to pass unnoticed. I searched but didn't find anything relevant, is there a similar app to qpair than can do the same job, at least to a certain extent? I mean direct communication between the devices, not syncing through 3rd party services like dropbox for photos or pushbullet for notifications.
How long did it take you to find a thread that's been dead for almost a year? Lol
Maybe he types really slowly? Best we don't judge the poor guy. I'll check back next year for a reply.
Funny. I looked for something relevant to avoid starting a new one. So any other good jokes? c'mon now that we started don't let it die again..
