Sketchup and xoom
-
it will be great if sketchup can run on the xoom tablet. thankss for the answer
-
I do not see why not, I do not have one, but I believe it has enough power and ram to run it.
Xoom has double the processor power and ram, even slightly bigger screen. -
What OS does it run?
-
Android 3.0
-
Xoom
Specifications- OS: Android 3.0 (Honeycomb)
- Processor: NVIDIA Tegra 2 Dual Core 1GHz
- RAM: 1GB
- Storage: 32GB internal
Sound unlikely then

Deep inside I like to think that somewhere between SU 9 and 11, SU will move into the webapp realm. Maybe not exclusively, but have a version that works there too so it can be used on all OS's.

There is actually no reason why SketchUp can't be ported to say, iOS, as iOS essentially is OSX anyway. I think probably what is holding Google back is that SketchUp uses a mouse and keyboard driven interface, rather than a touch one.
To be honest, I far prefer SU being a desktop only application. I've tried CAD and/or drawing apps on tiny screens before, and I've never got on with the tiny screen estate/size. A decent viewing app from Google would be something I would actually prefer, complete with rendering and animation, but done properly- even a fly-thru would be nice too.

Can you not use a mouse? It does have USB and bluetooth right?
-
How do you mean? On a Xoom?
-
I thought we were talking about the Xoom.
-
Pete, I think the problem is Android...its a different operating system, so the program needs to be rewritten just for Android...the same reason some apps are Windows only and not Mac too.
-
Who's on first? Watts on second.

Oh no- that's trown a spanner in the works! Rich has spun us an "O'Brien"

Aren't apps. on the cloud slower then those PC based?

Corporation is going to migrate/adapt to tablet sooner or later. It may not be a move initiated from the top down rather from the user. I am seeing it happening around me every day. More people are bring in none approved portable devices to do their work.
Sketchup is a great tool for face to face interaction with client and get real time result. Laptop enable the mobility, Tablet make it elegant.
Android is Google's product line, same as Sketchup. Love to see people from Sketchup make an effort to have it run on tablet, at lease on the Honeycomb. -

I have not found this to be true doing testing on the Chrome OS pilot program, using the CR-48.
But I would also love to see SU in the cloud for Chrome OS. I guess we will have to wait and see. WebGL is promising for GE, so that's at least a start.

Can you expand? Chrome OS is a replacement for WinXX OS right? What is CR-48, a cloud application? If so, how do you judge how fast it runs as a PC based application? I am a "babe in the woods" regarding all of this.

The answer to that question is (as it often is): it depends. On the machine and the app. In most cases, if you have an up-to-date machine on an average connection, a desktop app will perform faster (and probably better) then a cloud-based app. However, if that up-to-date machine is on a blazing fast connection, the cloud apps may very well perform better. Alternately, if you have an older machine on an average connection, it will perform much better running apps in the cloud.
We just moved into a new house. My wife and I both have our own offices upstairs, but we decided it would be nice to have a laptop downstairs - just to check our email and to occasionally look something up on Wikipedia or Imdb. The predictable response would be to go out and purchase a netbook. Being who I am, I dusted off an old Dell Inspiron 600m and installed Jolicloud (now Joli OS, I think). I have to say, I am very pleased. That old dell couldn't even run XP very well, but running a cloud-based OS makes it a Spring Chicken again (because it's connection speed is good).
Don't discount the cloud. While I'm a long way from switching over to the cloud completely, it does serve a purpose.

The CR-48 is the notebook, or should I say netbook that was sent to all of those involved in the pilot program for testing Google's Chrome OS. There is no hard drive, so everything you do on the CR-48 is through an app that resides on the net as far as programs used.
That's why the tag line for the Chrome OS is "Nothing but the net." I have found everything I have used and tried through apps and the OS to be quite snappy. Even though there are some beta drawbacks, I believe the OS and cloud computing in general is off to a great start.

In cloud computing, where does the application run? On the server? So the connection is only for IO? Or, does the application run on the local remote, thus the connection is like a PC bus?
