Ausustek released the code to the Linux Kernel for Honeycomb for download at the eepad website as reported by THINQ.co.uk. Click HERE to go to the page.

@shamrock3D - people at notioninkhacks say they can't do anything with what Asustek released. Jlusco mentioned that it was only the kernel source code and not the entire HC source code, he has however made it available for anybody that doesn't want to go through asus. Go check it out here. Zerofeel has stated that there is "nothing capable of being ported to the adam at the moment.".

So ... all we can do is hope that Andy Rubin's definition of "soon" is something along the lines of "within the next month" rather than "by the end of the year".

If anyone wants to download HC kernel and manual directly, go to site:

http://www.asus.com/Eee/Eee_Pad/Eee_...F101/#download

Chose "global" option to download.

It may be of interest to keep checking to see whether the entire HC source code is released at the site at some future date.

I will try to request ASUS to offer the whole enchilada.

Note: I bought some of the early ASUS notebooks for ~ $3,000 many years ago. One unit was able to run orginal Windows 95 all the way to Windows XP, without any driver issues, IOW, I could install Win OSystems and NEVER had any device displayed as "unknown" or crossed out by red Xs. Moreover, I only stopped using the ASUS when the screen hinge would no longer work.
