    Default android x86?

    Has anyone used this to boot a windows machine with Android? And, if you have, did you load PL?

    I'd like to get a Dell Inspiron Duo. It's a little convertible multi-touch netbook, and load it up with PL.

    You kindda misformulated your idea.
    PL should run on any android platform, provided you're exposing an OpenGL 1.1 with GLES extensions.

    Actually no, the current version of PL for android does not support x86.

    ah, thank you Futumsh. Adwinp, I have no clue that meant. Silly Adwinp, stick to shooting things with explosive arrows.

    Unless Intel comes up with some sort of emulator that can run the ARM instruction sets.

    They might actually have to do that if you think about it. All of the Android apps right now are compiled for ARM and Android itself is made for ARM. If Android sustains it's current growth rate, they may have to. The Wintel monopoly (or duopoly) is ending.

    Nice.

    I hear it's a much better tablet than the Xoom. The screen is IPS too. Be sure to share your experiences! I'm interested in a tablet at some point too.

    I'm curious, does anyone have any phone that has a video out on it, much like connecting a laptop to an external monitor? I know a few tablets probably could and maybe a few of the higher end phones- mine supposedly has a dock that can stream out through HDMI but I don't think it can stream video out like a laptop. But I could imagine how cool it'd be to play on a big screen.

    I think you can do that on the Droid X. Should be able to do it on the upscale tablets with HDMI out as well...

    Actually, I forgot that we have to take into consideration the native bindings: libpocketlegends, which ARE in arm.
