Hello everyone,
Is it possible to run dual OS on the galaxy S tab? Like Android and Apple !?

Is that a serious question?

Seems like a legitimate question to me, ViewSonic's ViewPad 10 already does Android-Windows dualbooting, and XDA itself has a thread about dualbooting the HD2 with WM and Android.
If the OP's asking about Android and iOS specifically though, then probably the answer might be no. If someone could do it though, it might actually be a good thing for the Android crowd: shows the Apple fans that choice and customizability is a good thing.
I was thinking the other day that my Tab would be pretty cool if running Windows Thin PC, saw info and a download on the MS site the other day while working on my wifes netbook.
I dont see a problem with either a full working version of Ubuntu or Windows on the GT and Android, or just the full OS. Seems reasonable to put an OS on what is essentially a tablet PC.
I would think its just a matter of a bios, and loading the OS, but I am not a programmer, so I could very well be wrong.
But....I'd load Windows or Ubuntu on the tab if it gave me the 3G ability as well as all other functions.

IIRC I think there's already a thread on XDA on bringing Ubuntu to the Tab. With Windows it might be trickier. The ViewSonic ViewPad 10 runs on Intel Atom, which is already used by other netbooks that run Windows. Windows might not be designed to run on ARM however, which is used on many Android devices. Processor design differences may be the key factor in porting the OS. (I've gotten Gingerbread to run on my Atom netbook though, alas I still couldn't get the touch screen to work)
Would be the first to jump onto dualbooting Android with Windows if it ever comes to fruition though; I'm a Windows developer and it'll be cool if I could write small apps and use them on my Tab.

You can't run Windows because there is currently no ARM version, though MS say that they will support ARM in Windows 8, but by the time this sees the light of day, the Tab will be obsolete.
There is a thread in the dev forum about porting Ubuntu to the Tab, but I believe it is still a long way from fully functional.

I already posted the question about fully functions in ubuntu for the tab. Specially the phone and sms functions but they denied it. I keep following and hope some day it will work

Thanks for the responses guys. Let's hope one day it would be possible!

since both iOS and Android are ARM based in most cases, you could probably make it happen.
Both Android and iOS are Unix based, so we could achieve this.
Also
It could be easier to port iOS than Honeycomb because iOS source code is avalaible for public, for improvements and bug seeking.
So, Yes, we could have dual OS on the tab, it could be windows, Ubuntu, Maemo, iOS and even Symbian

iOS source code is most certainly not available!

Hey Guys I wanted to know your Opinion about the future of the Operating Systems and especially Android.
I think in the near future Windows 8 will run on Smartphones, Tablets, Notebooks, PC's and TV's. Mac OS and iOS will merge into one OS for all devices as well.
Android 4.0 runs on all devices but there is no official support for x86 CPU's and there are no ARM desktop CPU's out, but I think Android is going to come to the PC as well.
What do you think? Will Android come to Desktop Computers and if you think it will, would you use it?
Also do you think it's better to stick to one OS for all devices?
Pretty sure they will try to do it but until now android didn't show us that they collaborate really well with the device producers.
This resulted in the fact that we have pretty good android devices that will receive the new operating system ICS after a lot of time.
We still have devices that have the capability of supporting gingerbeard but gingerbeard doesn't support them so the official updates are stuck to Froyo.
If they want to move to desktop pc's they will have to do some serious work about the drivers support and make them work as they should. (Point nvidia tegra 2)
I am very positive about the capabilities of Android. We seeing it lots of things recently...now that Intel is working with supporting Android I think de possibility of Android running no pc has greatly increased and the fact is when it comes to compatibilty Android is really flexible.

Mobile phone's current normal storage size - 8 GB?
PC's current normal storage size - 1000 GB?
Wouldn't it be overkill for a phone and "underkill" for a PC to have the same OS on both?
Mhh tell that the Windows 8 developers, they are building the same OS for tablets and Computers.
But I see your point. My Windows folder takes up 25 GB of storage.
I wonder how they solved that problem.
Yeah... don't take me wrong, I would love to have an OS folder on my PC of 200 MB... I just don't really see it happening.
I'm guessing it should be something like Firefox and Internet Explorer... Firefox is really small and fast, because it has (arguably) one tenth of IE's capabilities. In order to have Firefox with as much functionalities as IE you need one hundred plug-ins... and then it's as big and slow as IE...
Ok, this is may be a very bad comparison, I don't want to start a flame war between FF and IE fans, I just wanted to make my point

You cant be serious!!!!
Please take such discussions in the off topic lounge..
Are there any devices that are similar to touchpad? like is google tablet compatible with it ? I see other tablets are getting Android 7. was wondering if I could use one of there Installations?
Hi guys, just purchased a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8 inch (SM-T713). It’s been a while since I had a android tablet so I can’t remember the steps I need to do to root etc. I’ll figure it out. What I am struggling to find is any info on a nice clean stock rom similar to that found on Google’s own android devices. Anyone any ideas? Does any exist?
Howdy folks,
I have this old, Android KitKat-based, Android HMDI MediaPlayer called "OpenHour Gecko" which I'd love to give a new purpose. There's no more support from the producer of this neat little machine :-(
Can anyone please give me a clew where and with whom I can talk about this? Here you can find the specs -> https://www.cnx-software.com/2015/0...-player-features-hisilicon-hi3798m-processor/ <-
Thanks in advance and best regards from Germany,

Update: I basically know how to flash Android-based phones, did this successfully to my Samsung Galaxy Note4 and my girlfriend's Fairphone 2.
