Look at the way he moves the stylus around and it does nothing, and the way he taps so many times in some places but it does nothing.

If it is fake... he did a bad job at his movements]]>Apr 16th 2007 8:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/ubuntu-running-on-p990i/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/ubuntu-running-on-p990i/Apr 16th 2007 9:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/ubuntu-running-on-p990i/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/ubuntu-running-on-p990i/Apr 17th 2007 11:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/ubuntu-running-on-p990i/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/ubuntu-running-on-p990i/
None the less, if it is genuine, well done (but it doesn't quite cut it)]]>Apr 16th 2007 9:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/ubuntu-running-on-p990i/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/ubuntu-running-on-p990i/Apr 16th 2007 10:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/ubuntu-running-on-p990i/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/ubuntu-running-on-p990i/Apr 16th 2007 9:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/ubuntu-running-on-p990i/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/ubuntu-running-on-p990i/Apr 16th 2007 9:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/ubuntu-running-on-p990i/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/ubuntu-running-on-p990i/http://www.orvtech.com (which i just notice is down due to a crappycalistic ISP), no X no nothing and it boots almost at the same speed as that one does. ]]>Apr 16th 2007 9:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/ubuntu-running-on-p990i/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/ubuntu-running-on-p990i/If they can't provide a picture that does not look like it's taken with a crappy camera from 95 and washed 30 times no one is going to believe them. Why is every picture blurry? Can't they use a camera? This is just stupid.]]>Apr 16th 2007 9:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/ubuntu-running-on-p990i/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/ubuntu-running-on-p990i/Apr 16th 2007 9:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/ubuntu-running-on-p990i/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/ubuntu-running-on-p990i/
yeah, too many reasons to be BS. If the post a bootloader, or bootstrap instructions, that can be verified, then I'll believe it. you don't JUST post a video.]]>Apr 16th 2007 10:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/ubuntu-running-on-p990i/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/ubuntu-running-on-p990i/
Unless this guy spent a lot of time messing with parts of the distro that needn't be messed with... No.
If he could prove it that would be great, but I very much doubt this.]]>Apr 16th 2007 10:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/ubuntu-running-on-p990i/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/ubuntu-running-on-p990i/Apr 16th 2007 11:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/ubuntu-running-on-p990i/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/ubuntu-running-on-p990i/]]>Apr 16th 2007 3:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/ubuntu-running-on-p990i/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/ubuntu-running-on-p990i/It has been done on Nokia N70 aswell!

However, I don't see how this could prove anything at all. It's not very hard to create a program that gives you full screen access and can emulate the look and feel of Ubuntu showed in the video...]]>Apr 16th 2007 6:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/ubuntu-running-on-p990i/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/ubuntu-running-on-p990i/

HEY ENGADGET! YOU WANNA KNOW WHAT I THINK ABOUT UBUNTU RUNNING ON P990I ! HUH! YOU WANNA!! I'LL TELL YOU WANT I THINK!!! I THINK......... I have absolutey no idea what you're talking about.]]>Apr 16th 2007 8:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/ubuntu-running-on-p990i/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/ubuntu-running-on-p990i/your now using X11.
its gots to be either SVGAlib or DirectFB?
ive done this before in many devices in the past, but
that boot screen was way too fast (ARM,SHARC what ever..there slow).
it looks like its in single user mode.
if it was me I would drop PANGO,METACITY.
use some thing small like OPENBOX,or FLUXBOX.
you might need GTK and QT for all those Pretty Apps people like.
better yet, rebuild the whole thing from skratch...its quite easy.
It just takes like forever!!
repackage it, share it and give it a new name.
thats if this IS real?
