Maemo/Cordia/Meego project for HP Touchpad?
 

Dunno if anyone else has has thought about this, but with the chatter going around of HP slashing the prices of the Touchpad... Could the device not be a good candidate for a Meego tab project?

...I am trying to look around for one in my area now?

Re: Maemo/Cordia/Meego project for HP Touchpad?
 

Depends if the system is flashable and can have an OS installed.
Unlocked boot loader is needed.

Re: Maemo/Cordia/Meego project for HP Touchpad?
 

It appears as though other forums are also staring to see the attraction of the HP touchpad price drop too. My question is also being asked on the XDA and ubuntu pages too (for their respective OS's)

As for the UK stores, it appears as though we have yet to hear the news from HP. However they ebay can be bought from £150+postage.

I am still very tempted...

Well, my hand is itchy and i have checked out 32 GB this early morning on OfficeDepot 149.99. (yeahhh)

16GB is gold with only 99.99 but well office depot sold the 16 with 129.99 so might as well get the 32 GB.

Re: Maemo/Cordia/Meego project for HP Touchpad?
 

I just get "We're sorry, item 278394 is not available for purchase at this time " on officedepot.com and all the other places seem out of stock :/

Re: Maemo/Cordia/Meego project for HP Touchpad?
 

Looks like I'm not the only one who thought of this today when I saw the news today :)

It seems like it should be possible. Apparently some people have already been able to get Ubuntu running, and others are working on Android: http://liliputing.com/2011/08/hp-tou...ps-tablet.html

I say we've got a certain amount of necrophilia around here don't we?

Re: Maemo/Cordia/Meego project for HP Touchpad?
 

The immediate roadblock is the lack of GPU drivers for the Qualcomm chip in the system. Jump that hurdle and you might have a way forward.

Re: Maemo/Cordia/Meego project for HP Touchpad?
 

Why don't we they get Cordia to run one some hardcore hardware?
Like: galaxy S2 which has an unlocked boot loader.
Galaxy = 1.26GHz dual (overclockable to 1.6ghz dual) and 1GB ram.
Or if it ever gets unlocked, the motorola Droid2. Omap4 @1gb (512 ram) and hardware KB

Re: Maemo/Cordia/Meego project for HP Touchpad?
 

Well, get MeeGo to run on it and you can have Cordia on it.

If there are any userspace blobs (and there are, at least for graphics) then unless you can get hardfp, glibc builds of them it's a moot point.

Ditto.

Double ditto.

JUST ran into that... been doing my homework like a good lil' boy, not liking what I immediately see.

Let's see what the community comes up with... and by community, I mean XDA.

Been scouring opensource.palm to see what all is there and isn't.

How about the other WebOS devices? My sister ditched her Pre for an iPhone 4.

This is particularly of interest, since apparently Doctor doesn't verify anything it flashes. Methinks we can simply replace the root filesystem with a deriviative of the MeeGo CE for N900 port.

Re: Maemo/Cordia/Meego project for HP Touchpad?
 

You might be able to get away with it if the kernel is 2.6.35 or newer. You'll still hit the driver issue I mentioned before.

Re: Maemo/Cordia/Meego project for HP Touchpad?
 

The EPIC 4G is a better candidate.
1.5GHz (overclock + undervolt) topline Cortex A8 core
SGX540 (very very powerful gpu)
unlocked bootloader, root, busybox etc
hardware qwerty, led flash, microSD, etc etc
....cdma :(

Re: Maemo/Cordia/Meego project for HP Touchpad?
 

I would definitely be interested in this too... I've got my order in with HP, no clue when it'll get here though (hope Irene doesn't get in the way).

BTW: Another android port has started over here, though I don't know how legitimate it is (they're already asking for donations).

Re: Maemo/Cordia/Meego project for HP Touchpad?
 

1. Has there been any more thoughts on Meego for the touchpad?

2. I got bored with WebOS (only used it for browsing the web) so installed Android using the Cyanogenmod. Works very well but am struggling getting the Android market on there. Anyone else try this?

Not Meego, but... http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...78#post1133378

Re: Maemo/Cordia/Meego project for HP Touchpad?
 

Someone has managed to get Nemo up and running on the Touchpad:

Obviously there's quite a way to go but I'm eagerly awaiting developments with both this and Arch on there.

Re: Maemo/Cordia/Meego project for HP Touchpad?
 

You need to install gapps via CWM to get the market working.
