xPad 0.5 released!

Our answer to the Browser OS for tablets


xpad-0.5.iso (62MB)

After almost a year of hard working, we're proud to present xPad 0.5!
xPad is the Browser OS for touch-based devices, built on top of open source projects like xPUD, Qt/QML and WebKit.


This LiveCD/USB image works great on Virtualbox and some x86 machines, it has also been ported to several TI OMAP3/4 and nVidia Tegra2 platforms.

The Devil is in the details


We rewrote almost everything from the ground up, with Qt 4.7.2, QtQuick 1.1 and QtWebKit 2.1 software stacks, the web browser and virtual keyboard are now perfectly integrated, it also gave us the chance to make further customized UX and demonstrate all kinds of possibility about this Browser OS idea.



More Information

For more information you can refer to the source code repository on Github, and a presentation slides I made for COSCUP 2011. If you have any demo or customization request, feel free to send me a mail ;-)

We hope you enjoy this release as much as we do, and have a great Christmas holiday.

All the best,
penk
