Will android be available on windows phone 7? I had a hd2 and loved being able to switch between windows mobile and android. Im thinking of buying the hd7 once it comes out on t-mobile but want to know if there will be a realease of a linux hack for android on windows phone 7 later on.
Since the OS is locked down (for the time being), I wouldn't hold your breath as I don't see that being possible anytime soon.
Not at the moment.
Someone might be able to make this addition to the phone sometime but there are no options at the moment.
Guess the same goes for Windows Mobile then? Damn i wanted hat HTC 7 Pro..but not with Windows Phone

Why would you want to downgrade to an OS made by an advertising vendor?
Windows Mobile would be an upgrade.

Now I'm currently with Verizon Wireless. The service is exceptionally well. Now I know the HD2, or HTC Leo is rumored to debut on T-Mobile. I know there's an HTC Passion or HTC Dragon coming to Verizon Wireless, with the exact same stats of The HTC HD2 or HTC Leo. I've been a fan of Windows Mobile especially as of lately with the Windows Mobile 6.5. Android doesn't have the eye candy I'm looking for and it really turns me off they only allow you 256MB for applications on your phone. Windows Mobile allows you to install apps to your SD card, which is a major plus for me. Plus there are rumors that Windows Mobile may get access to the Android Marketplace.
With that being said, I want to get the HTC Passion, but I'd like to have Windows Mobile 6.5 installed on it, instead of the Androids 2.0. Is that possible? I know it can work the other way around, but can it work this way? Please let me know ASAP....if so, can anyone tell me how?

I'm pretty new to Android, but I am pretty sure you can do this with APP2SD

I would like to know this as well...
I am pretty sure I am going to convert to Android soon, but I would feel a lot more comfortable with the transition knowing that I could go back to WM if I change my mind... or at least that the possibility exists and is being worked on.
Hello all,
As we know all, there will be the Windows 7 phone series, with the new UI,etc... OK
But, anyone know if there will be a Windows Mobile 7 ?
In fact, a lot of compagny use Windows Mobile 5 or 6 on PDA or NON Phone device, in order to use professionnal application.
I would like to know if Microsoft will release a Windows Mobile 7 in addition to Windows Phone7
Thanks a lot if you have an answer
regards,
Nixeus
I've written about that here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=634790
In short: The Windows Mobile 7 project is dead. They killed the project about one and a half years ago and started from scratch with what is now Windows Phone OS 7.0.
Wow
I don't understand the Microsoft Choice !!!
How companies will use Mobile system for Non phone ARM device ?
They will need to use non Microsoft system
I'm sad that Windows Mobile is dead

That's not actually an answer to the question.
There almost certainly will be PNAs etc, as CE6.0 or CE7 will be available. They may not have the WP7 UI, but I don't think you get the UI on any PNA.
I figure I'm going to rile up quite a few people but I'm wondering if anyone has ever successfully used Windows Mobile on this device?
I'm asking because, believe it or nor-I actually like Windows Mobile and would like to use it if possible.
It's not possible.
As a user you can't get Windows Mobile on Android device.
And Samsung will never make WinMo for it.
you have now to keep gmail account forewer to login into andriod phone
ps: now is time that any search engine can make own OS (why not altavista crack os?=).
But just hold on for real OS . WM7 comes closer.
Well, that's too bad I spose....
I was wondering, tht when buying a new smartphone if I go with windows based OS on mobile, will I be able to run any software tht can run on windows based desktop computer? If not, such functionality is expected to come with forthcoming Windows 8 mobile?
PS: I wana run my live stock market terminal on mobile phone.
Since ver 7, the os is no longer called windows mobile; its now called windows phone. but to answer your question, no you can't run desktop applications on windows phone (or windows mobile for that matter) and this is unlikely to change.
That said I'm sure you can find another application to achieve whatever it is that you're after on the marketplace...
:-( my all needs are getting completed with an smartphone, but i guess eventually i will have to buy a laptop as well... just to run my stockmarket software.... Damn and they are telling smartphones (Like SGS2 etc.) are quickly replacing laptops...
PS: Wht is the latest ver. of windows phone called and, what is the windows phone marketplace url (Kind of new to smartphones)
Well for a lot of people smartphones or tablets can replace computers, most people aren't stockbrokers!
The latest version of Windows Phone is 7.5 Mango, which is currently at RTM stage - i.e. released to OEMs pending approval for new devices and upgrades to existing devices.
The Windows Phone Marketplace can only be accessed via the phone or via the Zune desktop software. The Zune software comes highly recommended from me, it's a very, very good media management software and I can't live without the wireless sync function anymore!
You can browse the marketplace through Zune without owning a Windows Phone device.
Perhaps you could let the community know what it is exactly that you need to do and someone might be able to suggest something?
EDIT: As you're new to smartphones, from a usability perspective Windows Phone 7 would be an excellent choice for you - it is simply brilliant to use, the interface is understated and elegant and the lack of pointless graphics makes it both simple and quick. Microsoft have clearly put massive effort into making Windows Phone highly usable and have surpassed pretty much all expectations, especially with the 7.5 update, which brings in a huge amount of functionality. A lot of people try and put Windows Phone down having never used it, because it's one of those things that needs you to spend 10 minutes with it to understand - but once you've spent 9 minutes with it, everything else just seems ridiculously complicated.

Silverlight in Windows
Hi
Silverlight apps are currently available in Windows and I think that the concept being put out there at the moment is that Windows 8 will run the same apps as Windows Mobile 8.
Nobody knows if this will become a reality or not.
Cheers

The best thing for you to do would be to find a mobile version of the software you are trying to run. Then get the device that runs that particular software.
The closest you'll come to running your "exact" software on a mobile device is to get a Windows based tablet or laptop. But to run your stock software on a smartphone, you will need the "mobile" version of that software, if it exists.
Also, check to see if your stock-terminal application is web-based. If it is, you may be able to access what you need with ANY smartphone through the smartphone's web browser. That means your "stock terminal" would work on Windows Phone, iPhone, Android, etc.
Anybody know if it'd be possible to install Windows 8 on an Intel-based smartphone such as Droid Razr i? The device should theoretically be compatible with Windows 8 as it's just using a pretty standard Intel Atom x86 CPU. The 32-bit version of Windows 8 should work. Anybody tried this before or know how I could approach this?
This should be revisited. The Asus Zenfone 2 came out and specs-wise, it is more powerful than many tablets out there.

Agreed! However, back when I asked this question, some people said it was not possible due to lack of driver support and possibly some issue with the bootloader. But when has that ever stopped XDA? This would be a really cool project and would really be awesome if you could install Windows 10 and use the Continuum feature. Unlike Windows 10 Mobile, this version of continuum would still allow x86 desktop apps to be run on the phone.
"This would be a really cool project and would really be awesome if you could install Windows 10 and use the Continuum feature. Unlike Windows 10 Mobile, this version of continuum would still allow x86 desktop apps to be run on the phone."
I completely agree with you. Chances are MS won't let Asus make this happen but Windows 10 Pro in your pocket and it can send/receive calls+text messages? What's next?...Snapchat?? - one can dream.

It doesn't matter if Microsoft allows it or not. I'm sure people will be able to get an unlocked bootloader for this phone or make one if Asus doesn't provide it. From there, I'd imagine it'd be something along thing lines of pre-installing Windows 10 onto a microSD card and then boot from it on the phone. The hard part would be making it boot and finding the necessary drivers. I wish I'd know more about where to start but my development skills are more centered around app development, not necessarily OS and hardware.

Please don't make me wants this more than I already do...
