Wp7 on android?

Has any one put wp7 on any android phones such as samsung galaxy s's was wondering cuz wp7 seems reAlly clean compared to android and ios

Theres an app called Windows Phone Android that makes a bad attempt at ripping off the UI. Sadly its unlikely that that would ever happen as WP7 has different hardware requirements and you'd pretty much have to reinvent the bootloader

The only thing I'm aware of custom WP7 running on is the HTC HD2. But it likely won't be long before a great many other phones have it. Sadly, it requires authentication and a key from MS, which will likely be useless after any update.
The good thing, though, is, MS rarely updates WP7 devices. LOL
Well that figures lol thanks anyways guys

It's unlikely to happen because Galaxy S is on Hummingbird Platform while all current WP7 devices runs on Qualcom platform.
More likely an android port to WP7 phone can be done, though I doubt the necessity

Dell Venue Pro is supposed to get LTE?

I was just checking out last year's leak of the Dell Venue Pro from Engadget (when it was called the Dell Lightning) and I noticed that the article said the DVP would be getting LTE by the end of this year.
Here's the Engadget link: http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/dell-lightning-the-ultimate-windows-phone-7-device-leaks-out/
Do you think it could still happen? And do you think it has anything to do with that rumored relaunch of the DVP?
btw I made a post about this on my blog if you feel like checking it out

I don't think apple would approve of a Microsoft xbox app somehow lol, but maybe I'm wrong, it would be weird for apple to do that knowing their anti everything thats created by their arch enemy.

IOS already has official My Xbox Live app. Don't see why this wouldn't get approved.
Actually, iPhone had this feature before us with the my Xbox app. My friend from work was bragging about it.

My Xbox Live Application?
can someone share it? I canĀ“t install it on my nexus 7
iOS version that was released yesterday has better fucntionality than the android version. Forza and Halo dont work as they do on iOS and Windows. This Is Bullsh!t. The giving android the crappy version of everything has to end. We have the most market share, the most users but we alway get shafted. Yeah we got the app first, cool, But once the iphone/ipad got it with full smartglass functionality(not to mention an ipad specific version[yes i know sideloading works on android tablets, it runs great on my N7}) it took me over the top. I just dont see why this has to keep happening.
Has anyone had trouble getting this to work? Mine goes to Getting info from Xbox services... and eventually just fails and says "Can't sign into xbox services". I've reset everything, tried over 4g and on the same local network and made sure the account is fine and Smartglass is turned on on my box. Still no go - any ideas? No many results turn up on Google. Some complain of similar problems but there's no solution.
EDIT 12/15: The next day it started working without me doing anything different. Go figure
not available in some SEA Countries. dang I have to use a workaround to install this thing

Windows 8

I have a gnex and I like it, a lot. These windows phones coming out look pretty cool and their just now catching up with some hardware specs us android users are used to. What do you guys think of these windows phones? Im curious to know the app development for the OS. Thats the only thing keeping me away. Your thoughts?
So you like locked down garbage that will never actually be updated?
Good for you.

Have a look at windowsphone.interopabilitybridges.com
Many articles point out as more users move to the Windows Phone platform, app devs will move over as well.

Definitely shows promise, but I'm locked into Android for the time being.
Just pulled out my HD2, which has WP7.5 on it (giving to my bro for a loaner), and it is a slick interface. Zune may have flopped, but it is just nice to use.
But, I'm Google-locked for now.

Not even remotely interesting. User interface is atrocious.
Beautiful phones softwate and hardware wise. Run extremely smooth especially the lumia 920. I like android for the freedom but if i had to choose a business phone it would be a windows phone 8 device. Apps are still far behind as their new. If you dont play games tho then they have apps for everything productivity wise.

Lumia 920 looks pretty nice. I have an upcoming hardware upgrade and since I'm buying the Nexus 4 outright, I'll upgrade to the Lumia to give it a try. I hope that Microsoft won't pull another Windows Phone 7 not upgradable to Win8 thing.

I have always thought the same way. It looks very nice as a business phone especially that Windows OS is mostly used in offices at organizations so it should pair and integrate better with Windows Phone I guess, however, they seem either more expensive or same price to high-cost Android phones, so this makes it harder to pick a WIndows Phone if I can get a similar specifications running Android which will also fit well as a business phone
Maybe Windows will go back to the top once again? :sarcasm:

Windows no doubt will continue to rule in in the workspace with windows 8 on tablets. So most people will need one. When it come s to the mobile phone market apple and Google should dominate for awhile.

I don't know how you didn't understand my post I clearly said windows 8 pro on my Pc, but I agree win 8 on a smartphone or tablet would be complete garbage compared to android, its a no brainer win8 mobile clearly sucks but so did android before ICS an jellybean came along, I absolutely despised gingerbread an anything before it compared with iOS back then.
Fyi All windows 8 operating systems can be considered mobile now. Just depends on what hardware its on. Tablets with keyboard attachments are going to be huge in 2013.

No they aren't. Just because companies will make them doesn't mean they will be huge. Adding a keyboard attachment defeats the entire point of a tablet and I think the market will respond accordingly.
I think Windows 8 phones might start to catch on in enterprises but for the mainstream users they will probably stick with Apple or Android. How well the phones integrate to the Office suite of products will drive the success or failure of the Windows 8 OS in my opinion.
