According to the latest rumors (thanks to Evleaks), the upcoming Nokia Sirius tablet will be part of the Lumia series with the name Lumia 2520. The new 10.1-inch tablet…
WPCentral posted some leaked pictures of a Nokia tablet prototype running Windows RT, it’s not confirmed yet is it a real device, but according to the rumors it’s powered by NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor running at 1.3GHz and features 2GB of RAM, HDMI interface, USB port and SIM card slot.
Another information says that this is a real testing device and Nokia is now working on their own Windows 8 powered tablet. Anyway, we’re expecting a 6-inch Windows Phone 8 GDR3 device this November, and may be the first Windows 8 tablet from Nokia, who knows!
As usual, XDA-Developers is the spot – mamaich just announced a new tool that allows you to run x86 Windows applications on Windows RT (ARM) powered tablets.
The tool emulates x86 instructions and passes the Windows API calls to the Windows RT kernel with some necessary modifications. It’s currently in beta version, but it has an installer and a GUI launcher, the number of the emulated Windows API functions is increased too, anyway it’s still very far from being a perfect solution.This tool supports only 32-bit Windows native applications and it will not allow you to run any type of drivers, .NET apps or DOS programs.
Note: Launching one x86 app from another is not supported yet, installers that decompress themselves and launch additional .exe files would not work at the moment.
It seems that the Windows RT project for HTC HD2 is keep going and going, here we have a set of new photos coming from Cotulla’s Twitter account (twitter.com/CotullaCode/).
As you can see from the photos, Windows RT runing on the HD2 looks like Windows Phone a little bit, and especially the Store screen. Windows RT user interface is running extremely well on a 480×800 resolution, there’s no overlapping or graphic artifacts, the Metro Internet Explorer start-up time is around 6 seconds – pretty good for a 1GHz single-core processor and only 576MB of RAM without any optimizations to the browser 😀
Finally, here is the new Windows RT jailbreak tool by netham45 @ XDA-Developers, an all-in-one program to jailbreak Windows RT tablets using the method recently released by clrokr. With this one, you can run any unsigned or custom desktop application!
How-to use it:
Note: you need to run the jailbreak tool on every system start-up, it will stop working if you do a soft reset!
Another piece of HTC HD2 news about the Windows RT port, this time Cotulla was able to build a custom RT version of 7Zip for ARM processors, and as you can see from the photo – the benchmark is successfully running on the HD2, this means that the RT port is still in development and we are very excited!
Here is the benchmark result:
File size: 3MB
Memory usage: 56MB
Compressing: 430 KB/s and 419 MIPS
Decompressing: 7532 KB/s and 680 MIPS
Finally, a Dropbox application is now available for Windows 8 & Windows RT, the new app can be found @ the official Windows 8 App Store, it will hardly…
Again and again, the legend refuses to die! Here is the latest project from Cotulla and DFT – Windows RT running on the HTC HD2 (it seems to be a project, as we can see from the pictures)!
Cotulla posted the photos on his Twitter account (twitter.com/CotullaCode) and as we can see from them, the phone is running Windows RT using the latest UEFI MAGLDR version 1.10.540 that is not available to the public. We have no information about the current progress and what’s working or not, it seems that the whole project is private and there is no any other information about it, anyway that’s just another peace of love to the best smartphone ever – HTC HD2!
