Have you actually tried putting Android on the WM8505 or just on the WM8650? You also refer people to a link on poodwaddle for a download of Android for WM8505 and if you watch the video, he says he has had? NO SUCCESS with getting Android to work on the WM8505.
Wow!? 10,000 views!
Looks like it.?
I tried them all? to compare but eventually went with Android 2.2 because it was the fastest and I could get the most out of the machine with it.
You can download Android games, old console emulator games and old PC games (that use dos? box).
sorry to bother, but I see you installed uberoid in your? netbook, care to tell which opcion have you chosed?
I’m actually gonna buy this thing tomorrow, I know it’s not the best netbook but I’m looking for something to use messenger and watch youtube that? doesn’t rack up my electricity bill
Do you lose the ‘rotate screen’ button sitting? next to the ‘home’ button when upgrading to Uberoid?
Can you download computer games on this please? answer this ASAP!!!!!!!
well you? could try looking on the various distribution sites like debian and fedora etc. but it all depends on your preference and some searching
Thanks! I’ll look for some. Do you? know of any specific places I could look? Google doesn’t reveal any so far.
most linux distros have some form of ARM processor spinoff, i believe Puppy has at least one or 2 puplets for ARM processors?
How did you do it? I would love to know, I tried to do it? myself to no avail.
put puppy linux on it?
Android market is available and has all of the games you can buy plus a bunch of free ones if that is what you? mean.
Craig… Google? Craig Electronics and check under the Tablets tab. It’s there
Yeah the newer netbooks are awesome! It has 1 gig of ram, webcam and Android 4.0…
Hi, there is just one question, is there Play? Market?
