Windows 8 RT on a $68 7″ VIA 8850 ARM Cortex-A9 Tablet by Eken

Posted by Charbax – June 7, 2012

Check out Windows 8 on a $68 VIA 8850 Powered 7″ capacitive tablet! (just a home replacement) What is the difference in performance and potential features between an optimized Android Home Replacement and a “real” native Windows RT machine?

I think it is obviously meaningless for Microsoft to insist on making Windows 8 a separate closed/proprietary/incompatible ecosystem to Android. And it’d be even more wrong if Microsoft wants to forbid tablet and laptop makers to dual-boot Android with Windows RT.

It was very fast in changing between the OS in this dual boot tablet.

It’s not switching between OS, it’s just a home replacement on Android. Google doesn’t even have Chrome for Windows 8/RT yet.

But how does it work in detail?

Just look up “Home Screen Replacement Apps”… Think custom UI launcher…

Why do they burden these nice tablets with such a tiny battery?
2300mAh is way too small.
~3 hours of runtime?

Windows 8 RT? That’s a good one.
