Intel AppUp Center running on a MeeGo tablet - see how it works

[bclnaydo]

what's with the pervy weird ending?

[papagaulo]

This guy is a little mis leading since it uses the meego uses the rpm package manager the programs really arent apps as the term app denotes usage on amid or cellphone type device the programs that meego uses are full desktop programs the only thing they actually developedwas the desktop interface the linux kernal was standard and so is he rpm package manager the os will run on almost anythind amd or intel.

IPAD RIP OFF

[papagaulo]

@timtheundertaker again apple did not develop the tablet nor is the ipad a tablet as it does not run a desktop os even the design is not original this device is a true tablet not a mid like the ipad as it runs a desktop capable os meego + rpm package manager try installing ms office on the ipad

[shagster1970]

More useless hand held shite.

[appleculture]

nice to see, good luck Guys I own an iPad and its not all that good. Needs flash

[KIDTRACKz]

COPY CAT ! ipad wanna be

[nvanadium]

@KIDTRACKz Pretty sure thats the point.

[KIDTRACKz]

@nvanadium thought so lol 

[papagaulo]

@KIDTRACKz apple did not create the tablet nor is the ipad even technicaly a tablet it is a mid as it does not run a desktop os apple did not even originate the design google smartq v5 tablets have been around for years fujits stylistic and so have mids what apple did was popularize the device to the fanboys and non geeks of the world while simultaneously fucking them for that over priced piece of crap meego uses rp package manager and is suited for a desktop

[rave208]

looks shit. ipad is better

[makmegs]

@rave208 lol i hope you realise that meego has 100 times the capabilites of the ipad

ie it runs linux = Awseome multitasking and also = Easy programming

did i forget to say it has full flash support, oh yer i did. Well there ya go :P

lets not forget it looks better I could go on but in conclusion, the ipad is not even a match for this thing

the end

[Interactivesystems]

@makmegs yeah and like....everyone uses linux.. Xcode is such an easy programming tool with good documentation I cant see how the application war can be won by rivals...I mean the fingerpaint app is lame...I can program that in 20 minutes. Evil corporation it might be, but face it apple is killing it, get used to it.

[TheJafari1]

@makmegs mate its great to have all these features that the meego has, however when you have all these features inside a device that has a rather hopeless touchscreen compared to the ipads perfect touchscreen, these features become obsolete and doesnt give you the pleasant experience you would get on an ipad.

see?

[papagaulo]

@TheJafari1 the ipad is not in the same class as this device and should not b compared mac fan boys really have it in there heads that apple created the tablet wich they didnt and the ipad is a mid not a tablet this device has usb functionality and if the two devices were sinced the ipad would be the slave and the meego device would act as the host there is no comparison i would never pay 500 bucks for a mid let alone one that doesnt support flash

[cg0def]

@makmegs look "bud", the iPad and any other device running iOS is in fact running Unix and just because something runs linux does NOT make it cool. MeeGo is nice but there are hardly any apps for it, it will go head to head with Android (and they are very much the same so it will be a tough fight) and at the end of the day iPad might have a restrictive software but has a very nice hardware platform and an amazing software ecosystem. Yes it is not the greatest thing since sliced bread but so what

[makmegs]

@cg0def I agree, ipad is a great piece of HARDWARE. Better than a lot of things. What i don't like about it is the software. Thats my only bif with the ipad. Shitty software that restricts the user. You can have a bloody supercomputer with 100 TFLOPS of computing power but if its running shit software, then at the end of the day its about as useful as your alcoholic dad... Apple = Good hardware but THERE SOFTWARE IS DOGSHIT!!!

[papagaulo]

@makmegs I dont even agree about the great piece of hardware for 500 bucks I would expect at least a dualcore atom and at least a gig of ram with the ability to run flash with a couple of usb ports and a desktop os not rebranded cell phone software

[papagaulo]

@cg0def you are mistaken this device uses the rpm package manager apps arent required it is like an .exe for windows this device could run a server and programs can be intalled from source code in about five commands you are right though linux does not mean cool but it does mean freedom and it will be superior to android because of the package manager alone and last time I checked Android beet out ios

[papagaulo]

@makmegs right on bro its like comparing a trycycle to to a car you just dont do it the ipad is a mid aka glorified call phone where as this device has far superior hardware and software I have a four year old fujitsu stylistic that kills the ipad like a hundred times over if they sold the ipad or 200 bucks I still wouldnt waste my money on that thing

[fteoOpty64]

Screen refreshes is painfully slow!. It needs a decent gpu onboard but knowing Intel using their own IGP stuff. We all know and can now see how its screen transitions really is slow!. Soory Fail!. ANd it looks heavy as well.

I would like to see how this hard perform on Android V2.2 though.

[4ourTimber]

another ipad killer

[chimera15]

Interview her. lol

[chimera15]

She's got an intel necklace on? lol An intel model? roflol

[chimera15]

omg, hot girl at the end. lol

[Buzzap14]

Does the OS support Flash? xD

[Wurzelzwerg1212]

@Buzzap14 yes...

[fteoOpty64]

@Buzzap14 :

Probably does but what is the use if Flash will only run 5 fps on video due to the anaemic underlying hardware ?.

Tablet Must-Haves: (1) Snappy performance, zero lay, (2) > 6 hour battery life on wifi, (3) Less than 1.6 pounds in weight, {Optional < $500 price point}

[nvanadium]

@fteoOpty64 Agreed. Except I would say that it needs to have a price of <$400.

[DeLaDobleuAlaEle]

look at this:

CineBench 11.5 Benchmark Run (EVGA SR-2 Classified w/ Dual Intel XEON X5680s @ 4GHz)

[BiadezZ]

That's sick + with front facing cam.. Which if apple had a fucking brain would ov included it in on the iPad.. Looks nice curious about the price.

[GarrettBMXes]

I can understand him. Thanks for the video.
