Windows 8 UI on Android Tablet [Video]
This is a pretty neat video of not only the Windows Phone 7 lock screen for Android, which is being worked on by the guys at WP7Android, but they have managed to build a Windows 8 live tile look (opens in new tab) too with Desktop Visualizer and ADW EX on a Galaxy tablet, running Honeycomb 3.1. Apart from the stock Android style clock and icons on the bottom left (which I cannot stand personally) what they've managed to achieve with the tiles is really impressive.

That's more like a phone put on a tab!!!! That's not a windows 8..the Moto zoom is just not right...

The problem is this is only skin deep. Skins are Androids biggest weakness. There is no design theme that runs throughout the Android phones/tablets. That's why Google is trying to get more control of Android.

No offense to the poster but I got to say that looks pretty lame. Actually, it looks and behaves a lot like the crappy android tablets perform now. Looks a lot like some motoblur skin.

there is a reason why people buy Rolex, not the fake chinese Rolex. If you want windows 8, buy windows 8 devices. If you want ios, buy an iphone. If you want Android, buy android phones.
