I actually didn’t know there were already kernels out for installation on tablets. Well, the Motorola Xoom, an Andriod-powered tablet, trying to fight against Apple’s iPad, is one that does have some special kernel installation. Kernels are not-official installations, they’re usually meant for enhancing and utilizing your device. Or of course, making it run to a maximum setting.

The Tiamat kernel for the Motorola Zoom actually gives it a capability of 1.7GHz, which isn’t so far off form 2.0GHz performance. If you think about it, a really good laptop would run around 3.0GHz. Impressive to have that on a tablet right?

What may happen with all that extra juice in it? Well, apparently maybe a reboot. Which isn’t so bad, yet it is still damaging to hardware.

Try a kernel out sometime.
