Linux on 7" mini netbook ARM-VT8500 ?

[LikeUbun]

I successfully installed Android on my WM8505 Netbook
All necessary information can be found on page 66 of this thread!
But I'm a bit confused. Android can not be compared with a desktop linux. I dont even find a file browser or how to access my usb-disk. But it comes with many language packs and looks great!
Regards

Find one files management Apk for android, install it, then you can have file browser.

remember that, most of Apk for android can be installed on this machine.

Hello everyone,

I apologize if I could read all 66 pages of this topic, and I wish you a few questions:

1) I should get a Mini Netbook "Via ARM VT8500 (MODEL 901)" and I would ask if I can install Android. (If so, where can I find the system?)

2) On Windows CE, with pre-installed Skype I can make VoIP calls (with microphone) to my contacts or I can use only as a chat?

I thank you in advance,

Greetings

1.No, you can use android, it is only for WM8505.
2.No, Skype has not windows CE version. maybe you can use MSN to do voice talk.

Not completely right!
Actually, my Netbook did come with a Skype App for WinCE6. But I didn't try it.

Still having a problem here.. I can't get it to run - I have 'script' on the root of the SD card with nothing else on it formatted as flash16.

Heres what HaRET says about my system:

Minimal virtual address: 00010000, maximal virtual address: 7FFFFFFF
Detected machine Generic ARM 926/generic (Plat='Windows CE 5.0' OEM='Anyka AK780
x')
CPU is ARM ARM arch 5TEJ stepping 5 running in system mode

Is it the right one? It looks very similar to the ones here.

With Android it's possible to install Fring (Multi istant messenger : msn, sky, sip , facebook , google talk, etc etc, www.fring.com )?

Your machine is Anyka, not VIA/WM. it is not the right one.

As I know, the skype on WinCE6.0 are hacked from mobile version, it is not for windows CE.
Skype has not Windows CE version, this is official notice from skype. I am definitely sure.
