Windows Mobile 7 Chasis Requirements - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

Word has it Windows 7 will need at least the 1ghz Snap Dragon processor.
Does anybody have any validation on this?
How hard would it be to swap out the processor?
Any sites out there that have disected the TP2?
Will Windows have an upgrade that will be compatible for the current TP2?
I hope this is all just speculation.

1) Yes
2) 101% difficulty factor
3) See attachment
4) 6.5 is probably as far as the TP2 will get official upgrades for. If it does ever get anything further, it certainly won't be that new "Windows Phone Series 7".
Your insurance against this is all around you my friend. Look...see...learn.

windows phone 7 for LG KS20?

Does anyone know that Windows phone 7 compatible with LG KS20 ?
I am really happy when have some news.
Not to sure if they've been made official yet, but the minimum specs for phone 7 are very high end, and include specialised hardware buttons. I'm not sure any device meets the specs so I wouldn't hold you're breath.

No phone will be able to be upgraded from WM6.x to WP7.
Nope...
I doubt it... Just get a theme or shell... And uhm... i think our devices should be able to run wp7 apps anyway..

You have the same amount of luck having iOS ported to your phone as you do WP7.

curious about device type

I was wondering, which of the following, does the Touch Pro 2 fall under when downloading a .cab.
Pocket PCs (PPCs)
StrongArm
MIPS
SH3
Handheld PCs (H/PCs)
StrongArm
MIPS
SH3
SH4
Palm-sized PCs (PalmPCs - not Palm OS devices)
MIPS
SH3
Pocket PCs (PPCs) ofc.
I guess that youre downloading a really old cab file

Yep, those are old designations. Any program using them may work on these devices (I have a few that do), but are probably not finger-friendly. Most newer stuff for these phones are categorized as simply PPC (non-touchscreen) and Smartphone (touchscreen).

Actually I believe its the other way around. PPCs are touchscreen and smartphones are non touchscreen.
It is for Dope Wars. I had previously used the .exe to install it, not knowing the answer to my original post. I want the cab though because i flash my phone regularly with an updated rom and it would be a lot easier to just have the .cab.

I'm pretty sure I'm right since PPCs have been around longer and were originally designed to use a stylus.

You actually just contradicted yourself.
You originally said "PPC (non-touchscreen) and Smartphone (touchscreen)". Now you're saying "PPCs...were originally designed to use a stylus". If you're using a stylus, your phone is probably a touchscreen device (I don't see how you need a stylus for a non-touchscreen device).
EDIT: Okay, you caught yourself!
OP: The TP2 is a PPC with an ARM processor, so you'll need to choose PPC - StrongARM.

Would also be good if you could give a brief spec list for each device...such as memory and camera megapixels
Thanks.

windows 8 on archos g9

hi guys?
short question: will it be possible to install win8 on archos g9?
Windows 8
Hi,
i think it isn't possible because the boot procedure is totally different as on PC-Hardware.
Cu
1. Blasphemy.
2. Copyright.
3. Drivers.
4. Why?
lol
no i wanted to ask: will it be possible to install the arm (tablet) version of windows8 on archos g9 models.
Read my word: NO.

Very unlikely:
a) no drivers
b) no *proper windoze bootloader* (yes, boot process is different than in linux/android)
c) copyrights etc (unless you would buy a license from M$)
d) why?
Why should there be copyright issues? If you buy a windows licence you may instal it on one device. The only question is if Microsoft sells ARM version to customers or only together with devices.
I think the greatest problem will be the bootloader.
And doing so just to show it works is reason enough.

True, but only YOU could use it
I don't think this is possible.
For one thing it requires a locked and encrypted bootloader and then it has very strict requirements
Oh and its pretty damn close to closed source unless you are making a windows 8 tablet

DRM-ed to the teeth as always- some WinMo bootloaders are secured also for memory injections- no way to run Linux... "All your device are belong to us"

No. Windows RT is just not meant to be installed on existing hardware.
Microsoft will only sell it to OEMs, and those will install it on hardware that fits the requirements.

Sorry, is this replacing an HP touchpad running android or where you planning on installing android on the tf600t (impossible at this time)?
Most of the basic windows 8 apps seem to be uninstallable. Apart from weather for some reason.

replacing my HP Touchpad that runs android... i did not plan on putting android on the ASUS, even if it was possible.
i have heard that the basic apps cant be uninstalled, but the ASUS ones, that you wouldnt see on let's say a SURFACE... can there be removed?

Yes, you can remove them.
Technically even the basic or core apps can be removed, it just takes a bit of work. They don't consume that much storage though, and you can remove them from the Start screen very easily.
Honestly dont buy the Asus. It's really bad quality.

Seems that this is a software issue, introduced by one of the latest updates... im sure it will get resolved soon.
other than that, how is the tablet, and keyboard dock? is it worth it for 400 brand new?
has the app ecosystem for RT improved much since launch?

Seems to be more related to static electricity which is a hardware issue that should have been caught during the design process.
Installing android on my Asus RT TF600T
I am absolutely hating windows 8.1 on my Asus RT TF 600T and disparately want to rid myself of it. Is it possible to install an Android system OS on it and where would I get such a thing from? I have hard rooting it is possible on the earlier versions on the transformer Pads .... will this work on the TF600T ?
... nope. I mean, in most ways, Windows RT devices are already "rooted"; you've got Admin access and arbitrary control over the file system and registry. However, if you mess with the bootloader or system libraries in any way, the firmware will prevent the system from booting. So no, Android isn't currently an option. Why'd you buy a Windows tablet if you wanted an Android one?
