You need to create a forum before we can do any developing. Where are we going to post our progress, on the Jetstream forum? That will go over well. You're driving away traffic and development related to this device if you don't embrace this! Look I've worked with development on the HTC Evo 4g and decided to go with the Thinkpad Tablet because of many reasons the previous poster said. There is a lot of potential for this device and XDA has good exposure to a large group of developers (whether beginners, experienced, whatever) so naturally many people would want a forum here. It doesn't take a whole lot of effort to create a forum, stop driving people away and finally give us some XDA love! The whole bullcrap excuse that it's mostly HTC devices is crap. All the other tablets from major manufacturers have forums. Lenovo is a major manufacturer. Perhaps you should take a little time to read up about this tablet. It is not without its flaws, but that's the whole point of development. Thank you for your time!
Thank you all for your support, but this IS NOT the thread to post your request/support for said device. Please place your requests in this proper thread.
Now see this is the type of info that is good when requesting a thread for a device. Just posting that you want a forum to attract developers is just not gonna do it. Yes some devices get forums right off the bat, mostly due to development being a given. Then you have those devices that not many people will get or use. For those devices having info like this makes your request stronger.
As for me having a soft side or giving a crap so to speak. I have no problem with people being new to modding. Hell I was new once to. Knew nothing of modding a phone. Only basic PC skills. What i do have an issue with is those that are not willing to put the work into what they are doing. I have seen too many people come to XDA expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter and that is just not what is done here. This site is for people that are currently developing for a device they currently have or are working on, to come and share the work they have done and get help with any bugs they have come across. Most development comes from someone wanting something on the device so they go about making it happen. Not for fame or money but for themselves, next thing you know you have SU, Modded recovery, Roms and all the goodies we all like in our Android Devices. and from your links it seems some have taken it upon themselves to make their devices better. Which anyone can do. Yes it takes alot of work, but you have a better a chance of getting the forum you want by coming with a request like this with shown ongoing work, working developments like SU or a modded recovery. Not just saying people think its a good device.
As for bashing the device. I didnt mean to come across like it was a bad device as I am sure its not. I just dont keep track of every tablet that comes out as they are updated far too often with the way speed hardware and software alike are improving. I mean think about it, by next summer we really could be at a place where a quadcore processor is the standard in mobile devices, making everything before them almost pointless. Not saying they still wont be good devices.
Now you have made many valid points and made your case. I am not in control of what forums get added and what dont. The admins are in control of that and when they see enough evidence that they are satisfied with they may or may not make a dedicated forum for this device.
One doesnt need a dedicated forum on one website to help development of said device. I will from now on keep a closer eye on this device to see what comes of it.
Thank you for your kinder words It is good to know that a little time spent doing some research and showing that some are willing to put in their time and effort for not only themselves but for everyone who shares the same idea.
