[Q] Porting Honeycomb to Toshiba AC100

---

Hi,
I own a Toshiba AC100 loaded with Android 2.1. Toshiba promised since the launch an update for Android. Nothing is out today.
I saw that a guy has achieved to port Honeycomb to Nook Color using the preview sdk. I really would like to know from you experts if this would be possible on the AC100.

Waiting for answers.

I second that question, would be very much interested in it.

Your not going to get any other answer then this. ..... wait till nvida and Toshiba release the source. Developers can't properly port or develop software or a Tom to run on tetra hardware for hunycomb untill they have the drivers(source) so to speak. I am sure if you look in your device specific thread for the Toshiba folio100 u will see the answer similar to mine there......

I heat that Pipposanta of tabletroms has a honeycomb port for the AC100 that just got released.
