Wm 6.5/7

This may be really early to be asking this, or just real dumb but im curious. how long do you think it will take b4 sum great hacker is able to build a WM ROM for the pre i know drivers would have to be made and all but who knows. they managed to run android brilliantly on the touch so wouldn't WM be possible for the pre.

Edit: Ill even add a poll just to see what people think

i think they were able to run android on the touch because HTC makes the Touch and the G1. Since Palm makes the Pre, I dont think there will be Android for the Pre nor windows. However, I wont say its impossible.

by that logic we could just port a windows build from any number of treos

whats the point in getting the pre if you want winmo on it... thas why im getting one, to get as far away from wm 6.1 and 6.5 as possible. WebOS is too awesome and well executed to even want wm. now wm7 might be worth wanting to port though. if i would want a port then nothing less than wm7 cus i dont want the ugliness of current version of my sexy pre (thats assuming it wont be half***** like 6.5 was)

HAHA totally agree. Also does Windows mobile 6.5 even work with capacative touch screens? I was also under the impression that Windows Mobile doesn't support 24bit color and only 16 bit.

It doesn't. WinMo 7 is supposed to.

But seriously... just buy a WinMo device if that's what you want.

I've heard all sorts of rumors that the Pre hardware is completely different than a wm device, but isn't that the point of having a Pre? I thought the Web OS was the revolutionary part of the Pre, not it's form factor. Most of the praises I've read have nothing to do with it's shape, size, or physical layout.

[dabackwoodboy]

yea web os is the revolutionary part of the pre iv jus was though it was cool that you could boot into another os on a mobile device

MHO: If I wanted WM7 I would have waited for the TP2 or some other PPC device. WebOS was what turned me on to the Pre.
