Yes that’s right! You are looking at a Nook Tablet booting I.C.S. Android 4.0x
The Nook Tablet signed boot loader has apparently been cracked and development on porting CM9 (CyanogenMod 9) to the device is underway. 
So now that we have found the leaking crack in the bootloader and proved it’s usefulness fat-tire and others are going to start work on a couple of key projects that I could use a little help on.
This will also keep conspiracy theorists at bay who call me “extremely low IQ male rooster with social development issues” (Also I have no pies)
Here is how i see the next steps:
Strip down uboot (or other bootloader) and teach it boot from it’s own partition.
For example install 2nduboot in /boot, hijacking the signature check and then setting a 1MB offset to look for the real, unsigned boot.img. Repeat for recovery.
This is the real hold up and why there is nothing to “flash” as of yet. (still no pies)
Finish CWM. 100% done.
Completed. See recovery.img here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show….php?t=1440645Work on CM9 for both SDcard and internal booting
Asus MeMo Pad: Hands-on pictures with the $249 Tegra 3 tablet – Recombu
January 12th, 2012Asus MeMo Pad: Hands-on pictures with the $249 Tegra 3 tablet – Recombu.
This is the King of 7″ tablets right now! …and it isn’t even available for purchase. ($249)
I’ve seen some forums indicating that people will ditch other affordable 7″ options (read Nook, Fire) to get their Tegra 3, Android 4.0 fix.
There’s a 5-megapixel main camera unit on the back and a 1.2-megapixel front facer for video calls. That main camera is capable of shooting 1080p HD video which would no doubt look a treat when played back on the screen – we weren’t able to test the camea out on this model though.
Running on Nvidia’s Tegra 3 chip and coming in 16GB and 32GB versions the Asus Memo will be arriving on shelves Stateside in the second quarter of this year and will ship with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.
I may even do this. How can you go wrong with Tegra 3 and Android 4.0 ?
Asus Padfone connections hint at keyboard dock? Hands-on pictures and video – Recombu
January 12th, 2012Asus Padfone connections hint at keyboard dock? Hands-on pictures and video – Recombu.
The ASUS PadPhone combines an Android Smartphone with a 10″ touchscreen dock to create a Hybrid smartphone/tablet.
Genius!
What’s also really interesting, something that we’d not ever considered before is that on the base of the Padfone’s tablet dock there looks to be some rather interesting connections.
We say interesting because they bear a striking similarity to the connections we’ve seen with the Eee Pad Transfomer and Eee Pad Transformer Prime. In other words, it looks like you’ll be able to attach a Qwerty keyboard to this thing. Excited yet?
