Android 4 Ice Cream Sandwich Ported for x86 Systems

by - source: Android-x86

The Android-x86 Project has posted the first Android 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich, ICS) release for x86 computing devices.

An ISO image of Android 4 is available for AMD's Brazos platform for devices such as the MSI Wind 110W. Generic x86 images are offered as unstable nightly builds.

The project team uses the open source code provided by Google to create x86 ports of the operating system. Besides this latest release, the developers have posted downloads of previous Android versions for Asus EeePCs, Viewsonic's Viewpad 10, Dell's Inspiron Mini Duo, Samsung's Q1U and Lenovo's Thinkpad x61.

Developer Chih-Wei Huang noted that the release still requires quite a bit of work, as sound, camera support, Ethernet and hardware acceleration do not run on Intel's processors.

Couldn't find the build for the Lenovo x61 on the download page which is a shame because I have one as a test laptop

For info, the link would have been good too! Here it is --> http://www.android-x86.org/
