I got a copy of the Android OS and was wondering if anyone else has been tempted to try it on their 10V?

I would also like to get a copy of the OS they are using on the Streak.

Let's get this party started!

Ran it off of a usb on my mini9 back before 2.0, nothing too special - its quick, but, well, its a phone os on a computer so its lacking if you want more than just internet

that's what i was afraid of. you think 2.2 will be much better on a netbook or same thing basically phone os on netbook?

[stopie]

I'd think it'd be the same. If it's got access to android market then you'd be able to play some of the games...but thats about it i think because what did they add for 2.2 that would benefit a laptop?

any idea what the Streak's running for OS?

where are you getting the OS from? and where do you get the drivers for your computer? i was looking to mod a dell mini 9 in to a tablet and was thing about running android on it. like will i be able to find the driver for whatever touch screen i install?

This site: Android-x86 - Porting Android to x86 is a useful resource for running Android on a pc. Actually I'm trying to compile on of the latest versions of Android (2.1 Eclair) to run on my Mini 9. I will tell you soon.

This is a really newbish question, but could it be run off the USB if the Mini is setup to run OS X? Would that cause any issues with it, or can it only be run off the USB if the Mini is setup for Windows?
