[Android General] fgdn17:
You do realize that

They are using Android-IA as the base of ConsoleOS...

Android-IA was released in Aug. 2012.......with 12 different iterations before ConsoleOS went to

kickstarter claiming all the following after having worked on it for 18 months....so they started in January 2013

time frame...and this is a "a Developer Release right? The thing is still essentially in pre-alpha development-wise."

and they sold people the following:

- We’ve taken Android apart, and put it back together for your PC. Console OS is a fork of Android designed

to take everything that has made mobile awesome and bring it back to your PC.

- Production-grade Android on the Desktop

worked for the past 18 months to make sure everything from (optional) multi-touch to Miracast™ works great.

- We fully support many popular multi-touch displays that can turn the smallest to the largest desktops into

giant multi-touch Android devices. And no, you don’t need a multi-touch display for Android to be awesome on

your PC - we’ve made the UX both multi-touch and non-touch friendly.

- Out of the gates, we will support (over!) 25 iconic Laptops, PCs, x86 tablets and convertible devices with

Console OS. And, here they are:

Acer: Aspire S7

ASUS: Transformer Book T100, T300

CircuitCo: Minnowboard MAX

Dell: XPS 11, XPS 12, XPS 13, and XPS 15, Venue 8 Pro, Venue 11 Pro

Gigabyte: Most BRIX Models, H87-ITX, Z87-ITX

Intel: Next Unit of Computing (all NUC models except for Celeron 847)

Lenovo: Miix 2 8-inch, Miix 2 10-inch, IdeaPad U430p, ThinkPad X1 Carbon, Yoga 2, Yoga 2 Pro

Sager: NP2740

Sony: VAIO Tap 11, VAIO Pro 11 & 13

System76: Galago UltraPro

Toshiba: Portégé R30 & Z30, Satellite L55, Tecra A50, Z50 & Z40

Most Portable All-in-One Systems

Going through the list and the devices in the wiki..we get:

and the rest we gave up on cause it is so depressing...

- We’re the first startup to successfully license all the key bits that make Android rock on PC hardware

- We’re featuring support for all the innovative hardware that x86 systems rock on the desktop, even

advanced features like Miracast, HDCP, HDMI mirroring, dual-display, 4K with DisplayPort, ARM NDK

app compatibility, and native hardware-accelerated H.264 decoding.
