SereneScreen on HP touchpad?

fuzz · 02-04-2012, 12:45 AM

Hi Jim,
I'd like to say thanks for the many years of enjoyment I, and my family, have had from your Aquarium. I recently bought 2 24" Samsung Synchmasters that I run it on . Can you say Gorgeous?
Anyway..I got in on the HP firesale for their TOUCHPAD, webos operating system. I saw that the ppc is available for a couple of hp phones. Do you think there is a way to get it to work on the touchpad? Might be something to consider since HP just made webos open source. I love my Touchpad...but I NEED more aps! This thing has a beautiful screen. Serene Screen would definitely look SWEET! Thanks Jim!

The PocketPC version is very limited and designed for tiny screens. Even if it could work on the Touchpad, its image would look very low-res when expanded to the large screen.

So, I'd say no.

I think most people are just wiping their HP Touchpad and installing Android on it.

That's the only reason why you would buy an HP TouchPad. Saying that, I bet Marine Aquarium woudl look AWESOME on my ASUS Transformer Prime with TEGRA 3!

HINT HINT!

It's not likely on a non-Windows machine, as only Windows has DirectX.

I know, I was only pulling your leg! Although the new TEGRA 3 chips, have amazing power and graphics capability. It would be nice to see something similar on the Android TEGRA 3 platform to show off something photo-realistic as this screensaver.

While it's not likely, it may not be impossible. Jim O'Connor's translations of MA for the Mac/iPad use OpenGL instead of DirectX.
