what ? This is windows phone 8 we are talking about here just to let you know !

Sure. But Win8 desktop/tablet is going to have a market too.
Is it going to be the same as WP7 marketplace?

I think its using a windows 8 store for ARM devices, and i think they'll just bring in the wp7 apps into there.

Heck, why stop there, lets put ios 5 on the tab? Maybe we could port call of duty over aswell.
Someone actually asked when ios 5 would be ported to the sgs2 in the sgs2 section.

(App)Videosurf

Hey App Fans,
Iv'e seen multiple articles showing a new app call videosurf that will record a video and tell you what the movie is along with other things. Its similar to soundhound or shazamm app but with movies and tvshows.
Has anyone been able to get this app? If so, can someone please send me a download link? I hear it's free on the market, but I have yet to find it on the market.
Thanks,
UPDATED App attached thanks to snandlal!

My bad. Didn't have my phone on me at the time. It's not working for me either. And I've tried emulating SIMs from the US and Australia. No luck. Maybe an email to the devs? They might have borked something while submitting it to the market.

Yes you are correct. Someone if challenged could probably get it to work for other carriers, however, I was answering the question as to why you cant find it on T-Mobile market or in my case the Sprint Market. I quoted the wrong quote. Sorry for the confusion.

there's a free version in the apps section here somewhere back. try searching and it should come up pretty quickly (if i knew the link offhand, i would just link it). it was made by some guy that was forced to stop publishing it due to a shady lawsuit put out by the makers of the "city id" that comes with the phone. yay for shady software patents.

[Q]Linux vs Windows 7 vs Mac

I have an HP Pavilion dv4. And I was wondering if I could update to another software. Either Linux or Mac. I was wondering which was better as in perfomance and compatibility. I was also wondering if it was possible to do such.
Thanks in advance. I don't care if this question results in an opinion. That is my intention. To see what the thoughts are of the operating system.
Also, It'd be best if you do not trash an Operating system if you don't have it. It wouldn't make sense.
This will result in being your opinion. It depends on what you are planning to do with the PC. If you are planning to go into rom development, then Linux would be your best choice. If you just want a PC for gaming, everyday tasks, etc., then Windows would be your best option. Mac - I really don't see what that's good for . But once again, it's your opinion.
Putting OSX in "non-apple" hardware is technically illegal.
For general users, a lot of apps may not be compatible with Linux so it depends what you'll be using it for.
So unless you have a specific purpose or function to run Linux, stick with Windows..
Theonew is once again correct, Linux for developers and geeks etc.. Windows for Gamers and normal people. Mac is really for people that do video/photo editing and design and stuff like that. That's where you missed the point Theonew
Final Cut Pro is cutting edge in video editing and as a result it's only available for Mac OS X...
Well.. I want a pc with Geek super abilities since I do have an Android. So that crosses Mac off the list. Mac is of more use for people with iDevices
At the same time I want to play games like Minecraft.
Will Linux run .exe programs or is it like mac.. I highly doubt it will run .exe programs.. but better safe then sorry

Linux will not run executable files. It uses archives instead (e.g. tgz).
Moved to Off-Topic.
Why dont you try dual boot? You will have the best of both OS's.
Sent from my MZ601 using XDA Premium HD app
If you're interested in trying out different operating systems why don't you look into virtualization such as VMware.
You can use wine to run exe files on linux. However if you're just a casual user then it's really just a waste for you to try a Linux OS.
$1 gets you a reply

Is it illegal or simply a violation of TOS/User agreement?
There is a difference. One is criminal and the other is civil.
If you deem it "illegal" then how so? Just curious.

For ubuntu, just download wubi (available here: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/windows-installer)
It will beautifully setup a dualboot with windows and get your Linux environment setup in minutes. But one disclaimer, you will have to figure out how to get WiFi working. HP laptops and wireless don't get along well, be prepared to take some time to find the drivers. But if your using ethernet, you will probably be ready to go right out of the box

Did a quick search and found an issue with wifi on an HP Pavilion DV4 laptop. The fix was said to install "b43-fwcutter" & "bcmwl-kernel-source" (Source - Linuxquestions.org). You may want to take a look at this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8848735&postcount=5.

Why you're confusing poor guy...everyone in the world knows, that SGN hardware is limited to run Win XP only...nztechblog, I suggest you to install Windows 95 - it's a blast on Galaxy Note!
So can you install win 7 on SGN?

Probably not.if you can it will be slow

Either you are talking about windows phone 7 or you are looking at terminal clients.
For the first i'm guessing that there is a better change of wp8 running on your phone. for the second you can look at Remote Desktop by Xtralogic.
I really hope that wp8 rom will be released for samsung note. Would be something really refreshing

Not going to happen there is no source for windows phone and no drivers for the notes hardware just not going to happen.
And to answer open in theory you could run windows 7 via a emulator much the same ways xp and 95 is run however the lag would make it completely unuseable

arm instructionset should be binary compatible. So i don't think there is a problem with having no source. Much the same as that windows runs on any pc regardless off driver support. (ok drivers are needed for peripherals but windows runs well on intel as on amd as on VIA
OP sir the anwser is no.
Thank you.
