Android on the HTC Touch

Posted on 11 December 2008, Last updated on 11 November 2019 by

Its working on the Beagle Board (Cortex core) and many other platforms now. Fast becoming the de-facto Linux-based mobile distro. Or is it just the media favorite? With 47 members in OHA, I think it’s beyond being just a bloggers darling now.

Linux and Android for Vogue – xda-developers.

    Doesn’t that mean it would work on OpenPandora?

    I still think OpenPandora has great potential, for the money, as a SUMPC (Super Ultra Mobile PC).

    Personally don’t like the new / testing home page layout.

    Hi Sam. Thanks for the homepage feedback. I’m going to leave it in place for longer testing and tweaking and then we’ll make a final decision.

    Regarding OP, yes, Android should be possible. Yes, it would make an awesome platform. Needs some styling and button changes along with 3G but apart from that, exciting and excellent value.

    Steve.

    Hi Steve.

    I enjoy your site. Still waiting for more vid’s and feedback from OP adopters. I can live with the retro looks. Bluetooth & USB give it enough 3G options to keep me going, obviously onboard would be better.

    Where it scores above other devices is tiny size & weight, long claimed battery life, low price and touchscreen. Still never seen one in the real world.
