We'll need to start with a rooted / jailbroken BlackBerry PlayBook. Without root access, we won't be able to install the necessary files using a free tool called WinSCP. Once the PlayBook is rooted, we'll use an application called DDPB to sideload a single Android app to your PlayBook, Honeycomb Launcher. Using this launcher application, we'll initialize the Android system on the PlayBook.
Honeycomb Launcher For Playbook
Now that the key has been successfully imported into PuTTYgen, we need to save it so that WinSCP can use it. Click Save private key (not public key), and click Yes when the program warns you about saving keys without a passphrase. You'll need to save the key you created; personally, I saved my key in the DingleBerry folder and used the name "playbook." Make sure you leave the file type as PuTTY Private Key Files (*.ppk). Once the key has been saved, you can close PuTTYgen.
Some users report launcher apps refuse to open, crashing back to the PlayBook's home screen. Others report a Market that simply hangs with an eternal "Please Wait" message. This appears to happen most frequently with users who downgraded, either from OS 2.0.0.4869 (beta).
Smart Launcher 3 is a renewed version of well-known mobile app. Tabled tool is a groundbreaking launcher for making your gadget fast as lightning and much easier to use. The app is compatible with both Smartphones and tablets.
Physical access to a phone is needed to install Exaspy. Once it's installed, it uses the name Google Services to avoid the suspicion of a user looking through the installed applications. It asks for a license key, and then it disables its main activity component to hide from the launcher. Exaspy is able to execute shell commands in order to elevate its privileges.
Because it runs Windows, it will be capable of flash and will run a slew of Windows software. Anything an average netbook can handle, this will do. In the video below, the overlay looks to be designed with touch in mind. Engadget says the overlay is called QuickBits and is nothing more than a launcher designed for touch. They have a gallery of pictures in their first hands-on with the device.
The Flash Player 10.2 from Adobe is going to be released in conjunction with the first new revision of Android honeycomb software. The Flash Player 10.2 will only work with the upcoming Honeycomb version: Android 3.0.1.
You\\u2019ll find a lone physical button below the display, which calls up the app switcher if you\\u2019ve got an application open. Press the button again and the app launcher pops up over the app switcher, similar to Android. webOS\\u2019 app launcher is divided into four tabs; apps, downloads, favourites and settings. You can tap and hold to drag and drop icons between the app launcher and the dock. The dock has room for six icons, which by default are browser, mail, calendar, messaging, photos and app launcher.
Mass production of the HTC Puccini tablet is scheduled to start in June. This will be an interesting device for a few reasons. First, the hardware. It is the first tablet I'm aware of with a 1.5GHz Qualcomm processor (I'm pretty sure that's dual-core). It also has a resistive/capacitive screen so it can use touch people are now used to on these devices as well as an old-school stylus. This makes a lot of sense for data entry, note taking, or editing on a tablet device. It will be interesting to see how practical or needed a stylus really is these days. Second, the software. It apparently will ship with Android 3.0.1 which I'm hoping is a typo and it will have 3.1 instead. Either way, as you can tell from the screen shot above HTC has built a new UI for Honeycomb devices. A lot of people seem to like Sense on their phone. I really wish OEM's would stop changing the stock interface and just let you download a different launcher if you want instead. Have you been waiting for the Puccini? What do you most like, or not like, about it? 2ff7e9595c
