Windows rt on acer a500

The company has been focused on more high-priced products in the last year, but there is a market opportunity with the low-cost A1 and the tablet will set the tone for products coming up, Acer executives said.

The company feels that the outlook for Windows 8 is strong, and Wong said that sales of devices with the OS will be better in the second half than the first half of this year. The company is expecting 25 percent of its tablet business to come from Windows 8, Wong said. The market for Windows 8 is settling down after a rough start, he said. The launch was not ideal and the Surface tablet created some distraction, but Microsoft is now doing a good job of supporting its partners and explaining the touch-usage model to customers, Wong said.

Acer has had some supply chain issues in the last few years, but Wong said those have been resolved. The business strategy now includes a stronger worldwide distribution channel for its PCs, mobile and hybrid devices, he added.

Intested of windows8 I would go for ubuntu once the 3. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium On top of that Windows 8 RT will be fully locked down with a locked bootloader and be locked to that device so yeah wont be able to take it off another device thats similar to ours. Install windows 8 in acer A! I know there is a Ubuntu port out there so far but the last time I checked, it was still very buggy. However according to the hardware specifications, it seems that you can install Windows 8 Consumer Preview in this tablet.

The Tegra doesn't have any windows drivers as far as I know There is more of a chance of us seeing Mac running on our tablet :P. End of. It's been my experience if someone is determined enough anything is possible. In fact you may just have ignited a fire and determination in someone just to prove you wrong. Let's hope so! I'm not going to be the one to do it, but I too think this is all but impossible After all, there's an ARM build, so all that's really missing are drivers.

There aren't too many manufacturers of touchscreen devices, so this one ought to work, too, and for audio the situation is much the same. MMC chipsets are mostly broadcom anyway a too, I guess so there's another component that most likely will work. Also, USB will work as it's well specified and used for a lot of stuff internally by most devices While graphics support may be a fair amount of work, it certainly seems possible But you need to take into consideration that this is a totally new system.

It will probably come only with the drivers for hardware approved by MS like with Windows Phone. So unless some other Win8 tablets are going to use exactly same hardware parts with same configuration we wouldn't have anywhere to get those drivers from.

We don't even know if Win8 would support Tegra2 instruction set which may be missing some instruction sets available in newer processors.

Windows 8 on the Touchpad? Hey Guys!!! I've read threads here and there about porting Windows 8 into the Touchpad, but I want to have as many answers as possible in one single thread. Will it be possible in the future? What obstacles will the devs find porting it? I know this website is big in Android development but I want to see different options licensing unless microsoft starts selling windows 8 licences for ARM devices meaning by itself, not pre-installed in a device , porting windows 8 to another devices that doesn't already come with it would be considered piracy.

I guess these threads need to be merged. I heard somewhere MS will have an ARM version of next gen of windows its 89 gogogogogoogggggg no luck If the latter is the case, you cannot legally install it on something else, that would break the EULA.

Drivers would also probably be an issue, but it's hard to tell until we know what hardware is running Windows 8 whenever it comes out. It's possible that it'll be a non-issue.
