The Ville is a beautiful phone there is no doubt. Will it be able to rescue T-Mobile from 4th place or stem the hemorrhaging that HTC is currently experiencing?
I doubt it.
But hey, you never know.
HTC’s thinnest phone, the Ville, rumored to land at T-Mobile

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

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 ?
