in theory you could install the android OS on a pc right?
thats all that cell phones basicly are
is just a much simplified version of a pc

im correct in the fact that the android is linux based right?

what part of the picture am i just not seeing yet?

edit: this isnt spam
 
in theory yes I suppose you could. its been installed on some netbooks I believe.

why anyone would want to have it as a primary OS on a full featured PC, that is a different question.
 
welcome to rabroad!
and yea, in theory its possible. its also possible in practice heres how... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFPBw9HqbOQ&feature=fvw
 
okay scratch that
i just dl'd the ISO and gave it a whirl
the only issue that im having is that i have to use the windows key to go back to the main screen
dont like that
i would much rather it be set so that it takes it back one screen
but oh well
if it aint fixed
then ill fix it................. later i have other things to do
 
There is an ISO for Android on PC? I would like to give it a go on my toughbook... Where can I get this ISO?

Does anyone know if Chrome OS is available yet?
 
I use hexxehs version of chrome runs fairly stable off an sdcard or USB stick if you want to try it out.

its got a few quirks but fun to try.
 
there sure is
click me
just click the free button and wait
i used VMware Player and mounted it as a machine
i used linux (other linux 2.4.x kernel)
and it worked like a charm
i was able to find the Chrome OS
but havent been able to get it to run on VMware Player yet
