The touchpad, selling fire more or less petered out this weekend and thousands of HP'S little pills that have found new homes. Not all it seems like WebOS, although, as an increasing number of people who bought bargain bin dvuhknopocnyh clamoring for tablet experience, it's a bit more ... for example, relevant.
Thanks to its open nature, Android OS choice for port touchpad, and now people on Modding community called HackNMod offer bounties devs who can make it happen.
The total amount of money up for grabs is $ 1500, but it is divided into several parts, so a few devs get a chance to win.
The one who first succeeded in obtaining the basic Android port "and running on the touch pad network $ 400. HackNMod is not to dwell on what exactly constitutes a "port", but is expected to have a device for download in the Android with a decent degree of stability. Sub-bounties run the gamut as payments: a command that gets the WiFi to work nabs $ 350, audio team gets $ 300 and multitouch team receives $ 100. Developers will have another face: their decisions should be fairly easy for the average user to install on their own.
Like all things, there is a little catch: a $ 450 for Android with the port itself goes from HackNMod in pockets, the rest remain to authors. In a sense, this is the perfect system for your project as follows: functions with the greatest demand (I hope) are those which will be financed. Interested parties can also throw in money for other functions, they want to see the work, leading to a sub-bounties for wanted devs to move on.
