For those that have missed this news because they have lives that do not revolve around reading all the gossip and technobabble about the G-Tablet, here is some great information!
Our good friend over at SlateDroid (and here, and elsewhere) Roebeet has verified that the 1.2 Bootloader and the Notion Ink Adam bootloader share a ton of the same DNA and are VERY similar. YAYY!!
So, as my wife likes to say when I get geeky and excited, "What exactly does that mean Peter?!" Well, since the bootloader is very similar:
1) we no longer have to wait for Viewsonic to release their source code, we already have it from Notion;
2) While there is NO guarantees here, Notion Ink has announced they have an imminent release of a Honeycomb ROM. Again, since the base seems to be the same we may by extension be close to a full true Honeycomb ROM (not one mocked up from the SDK).
3) Finally, this opens it up to a lot more opportunity for other advances since it looks like we now have an open path to the source. Kernels, other mods, etc.
BIG kudos to Roebeet and his co-horts, and let's see where this goes!
