x86 Android doesn't make much sense unless it does some binary translation for apps that exist or special versions will have to be made for every single app. Chrome OS gets round this so I think they need to merge the tech.]]>Jun 29th 2010 8:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/developers-to-get-native-x86-version-of-android-2-2-this-summer/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/developers-to-get-native-x86-version-of-android-2-2-this-summer/Jun 28th 2010 11:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/developers-to-get-native-x86-version-of-android-2-2-this-summer/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/developers-to-get-native-x86-version-of-android-2-2-this-summer/

Yes I thought it was curious that he said:

"Because we don't see enough generic Android tablets as it is."

I would agree with that statement, without the sarcasm. There still hasn't been an Android tablet that looks like it would be a good buy, so as far as I'm concerned, they can keep pumping out new models until they get it right. ]]>Jun 28th 2010 1:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/developers-to-get-native-x86-version-of-android-2-2-this-summer/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/developers-to-get-native-x86-version-of-android-2-2-this-summer/
They seriously need to get on the ball and release some of these.

Variable screen sizes are not an issue after Android 1.6. I have an entourage edge. (dual 10 inch LCD and eInk screens). Anything properly written for Android 1.6 will automatically open and use the full 10" LCD screen. In fact it is not technically difficult (for Android programmers) to make most 1.5 programs work properly on a large screen. It amounts to changing a couple values in a file and repackaging the APK. ]]>Jun 28th 2010 12:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/developers-to-get-native-x86-version-of-android-2-2-this-summer/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/developers-to-get-native-x86-version-of-android-2-2-this-summer/
That isn't entirely true--it's more than a few values--but yes, applications are constructed to fit any size screen (although the smaller the screen, the tougher it becomes.)]]>Jun 28th 2010 12:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/developers-to-get-native-x86-version-of-android-2-2-this-summer/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/developers-to-get-native-x86-version-of-android-2-2-this-summer/Jun 28th 2010 11:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/developers-to-get-native-x86-version-of-android-2-2-this-summer/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/developers-to-get-native-x86-version-of-android-2-2-this-summer/
From the looks of it Moorestown is on par with current generations of ARM SoCs when it comes to performance and battery life.

Hence 10 hour runtimes on a tablet shouldn't be an issue.]]>Jun 28th 2010 12:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/developers-to-get-native-x86-version-of-android-2-2-this-summer/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/developers-to-get-native-x86-version-of-android-2-2-this-summer/

Sigh, I wish that were actually ironic, which in fact it isn't. You know, there is a difference between ANNOUNCED products and actually AVAILABLE products. How many Android tablets can you currently actually buy in the US?]]>Jun 28th 2010 12:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/developers-to-get-native-x86-version-of-android-2-2-this-summer/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/developers-to-get-native-x86-version-of-android-2-2-this-summer/Jun 28th 2010 12:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/developers-to-get-native-x86-version-of-android-2-2-this-summer/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/developers-to-get-native-x86-version-of-android-2-2-this-summer/
Why be snarky about this??? an x86 version pulls the larger manufacturers with intel partnerships into the fold = higher quality devices.]]>Jun 28th 2010 1:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/developers-to-get-native-x86-version-of-android-2-2-this-summer/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/developers-to-get-native-x86-version-of-android-2-2-this-summer/
Because it is not an apple product. Like all things engadget, Apple is praised to the high council, while everything android is redundant. It appears that engadget only praises android when it is about a new phone device, dozens of off brand tablets is overkill for them i suppose?
Now that we are starting to see bigger names play a role in bringing Android to the masses, it appears that too many tablets is the thing to bitch about. ]]>Jun 28th 2010 1:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/developers-to-get-native-x86-version-of-android-2-2-this-summer/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/developers-to-get-native-x86-version-of-android-2-2-this-summer/
TBH, I've been reading Engadget for long enough to recognize that not all the writing staff operate in this way, but unfortunately the majority do... seemingly by directive.

But we all know Josh isn't a biased Apple fan, right?]]>Jun 28th 2010 3:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/developers-to-get-native-x86-version-of-android-2-2-this-summer/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/developers-to-get-native-x86-version-of-android-2-2-this-summer/
I beg to differ.. Engadget was very much into the joojoo.. until they got it, and all the announcements went up in smoke.. they were very much into the courier , hp slate, anything they can take picture of or write about..

the problem is, apple is currently the only one who actually made it.. a tablet that doesn't get warm, works for 10 hours, have a 10" touch screen that works and can show videos just fine. When someone will come up with that I'm sure engadget will not say "apple is still the one". but, apparently, you need apple to get apple level products.. as much as it hurts some people, having some off-US company like HTC will just not make it - and mind you, I am not american.

I know, it sucks, but maybe with intel things will get better (just god , please not the atom) ]]>Jun 28th 2010 3:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/developers-to-get-native-x86-version-of-android-2-2-this-summer/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/developers-to-get-native-x86-version-of-android-2-2-this-summer/
Why do this? These apps are lightweight, and have highly optimized single purpose interfaces. They work especially well for data feeds like social networks, rss, stocks, etc. I keep my phone by my desktop and use it for some things my desktop can do, just because my phone can do it faster and easier. So why not let my desktop take advantage of all of that?]]>Jun 28th 2010 1:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/developers-to-get-native-x86-version-of-android-2-2-this-summer/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/developers-to-get-native-x86-version-of-android-2-2-this-summer/Jun 28th 2010 1:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/developers-to-get-native-x86-version-of-android-2-2-this-summer/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/developers-to-get-native-x86-version-of-android-2-2-this-summer/Jun 28th 2010 1:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/developers-to-get-native-x86-version-of-android-2-2-this-summer/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/developers-to-get-native-x86-version-of-android-2-2-this-summer/Jun 28th 2010 2:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/developers-to-get-native-x86-version-of-android-2-2-this-summer/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/developers-to-get-native-x86-version-of-android-2-2-this-summer/It's obviously not something the x86 developers are interested in lest they'd have already gotten themselves the source and all but released products with it ala chromium os
