Well, I've installed Ubuntu, but it doesn't really like multiboot, so I set the timer to zero.... It's a school computer

I am currently installing Android on the same hardrive and partition as win 7. Android deosn't take a lot of space, and this way I should be able to install downloaded apps through windows.
From what I can see existing Market Accounts work, and you can download all apps that your specs support.

Pretty sweet ;o

Creating a fake sd-card for the laptop to install apps too, maximum size is 2GB. Also I have to wonder if the SIM card adaptors allow you to call/text of the laptop.

That's be cool, but I have GSM, and I have an Ipod and Phone. I've wanted to be able to dual boot Android on my Ipod touch though...

Depending on what generation you have, it can be done via Open iBoot.

 

[jrk190]

4th Generation.

Nah, sorry. Open iBoot doesn't support it.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! Yeah, I looked it up a while ago, but how much memory will it most likely use? I have an 8gb with 1 gb left...

Can't waits for release.

 

[jrk190]

Nope.

Can't waits for release.

It's in a developer stage at the moment, although earlier versions of android are in Release Candidate modes. Just to clear this up, I don't code or package this. I am just telling people how to do it.

For those looking, the site for Android on x86 is http://www.android-x86.org/ You can find all of the different versions of Android available there along with instructions on how to install it.

EDIT: @Zero I'd recommend you put this into the first post, that way people can check out the various Android versions and official instructions and everything.

I read everything. If they had it in an easy GUI, I could do it. It's too complicated.

Interesting- I might have to give this a spin in a VM (I am moving away from dual boot to remote viewing if I can) and if the interplay between android devices is heading the way people project it will I probably need to get in on the ground floor. Equally if someone winds XBMC or an equivalent in there I am sold (or at least several clients are).

Anyhow if you are struggling with dual boot I usually find easyBCD a good starting point- http://neosmart.net/EasyBCD/
I have not really tried it with windows 7 yet but it certainly works with vista.

Foxi4 was asking why- probably the same reason I have somewhat dumb terminals/low maintenance systems, application specific operating systems (things like http://biopuppy.org/ to say nothing of 90% of my PC fixing CDs) and/or things like XBMC

It...is an easy GUI to install everything.

I will post a tutorial now. I am currently using the borwser! And it works incredibally
