[Q] Android DEVs desperately needed for Toshiba Folio

---

I have ordered a toshiba folio and will be receiving it today. I know it received a lot of bad reviews but i am still willing to give it a try. I have seen the viewsonic gtablet getting a lot of support here, and hardwarewise they are alsmost the same, the folio and the gtablet.
I was wondering if there is any hacker/dev here having the same type of interest in the folio as the gtablet?
I totally new to android hacking, have some experience with WM, ( not as a dev but as a crazy custom rom flasher on my omnia i900 ). I do own a HTC Desire, and so not totally new to android OS but as far as modding or hacking the OS, I am at the lowest level of the chain.
Is there anyone here involved in making the folio a better device? working on custom roms for it?

Looks like the Advent Vega is out, might be worth having a look before you unbox the Folio.

it seems everyone gave up on the device there.

i got mine today, been playing with it for a few hours, the battery died in around 3 hours usage. the build quality is really not bad IMHO. it actually feels good in the hands, probably a bit on the heavy side. hardwarewise its seems very very good, but my problem is that its extremely laggy UI. sometimes the screen becomes unresponsive, and the hardware buttons almost never work. i will keep it a couple more days then i guess will send it back.
its a very good piece of hardware, too bad toshiba neglected totally the software. this makes the device almost unusable.

the advent vega is almost the same as the folio, i doubt that it will be a better device out of the box.

yeah you right! but! we need ppl to work and fix some bug!

i would do it, but i have no experience in prog/ linux/ android.
i was hoping more clever and experienced people here would have an interest in it and thereby give it some unofficial support here, but it doesnt look to be so.

Is there a way to learn how to program/hack/mod it?
