Hey, <div><br></div><div>Yes... we're working on getting Sugar on the tablet form factor.</div><div><div>We're looking at compiling Sugar for an armv7 chip based tablet. (Allwinner A10 chip- armhf ). There are many cheap tablets flooding the market here in India, so we thought it is a good idea to get Sugar on them. </div>
</div><div>Would be quite cost effective, (not in the long run though, none of them are as sturdy as the XOs) </div><div>Getting the touch screen and multi-touch capabilities in linux are seemingly a problem here.</div>
<div>
If anyone is working on the linux/environment configuration for the new XOs, would love to get some technical guidance for this..</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 23 November 2012 02:41, Sameer Verma <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:sverma@sfsu.edu" target="_blank">sverma@sfsu.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<div>
<br>I can think of two ways this could possibly work. One is to "dual boot" so that the entire Fedora+Sugar stack lives on a storage medium and the tablet boots into it. The other is to reuse the Linux part of the Android stack, but to run a different upper stack like how Ubuntu on Android works (<a href="http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/android" target="_blank">http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/android</a>). A similar approach is used with Debian on Android where the Debian system lives in a chroot. <a href="http://evilzone.org/android/debian-on-android/" target="_blank">http://evilzone.org/android/debian-on-android/</a> <br>
