rsshandler/java on windows rt? #57
Description
I'm getting one of the new Surface tablets. I understand Windows RT (if you
don't know what this is specifically please refrain from commenting on what
Windows supports in general, you're not helping) will not support running third
party legacy desktop apps, but does anyone know if it will have java and if it
would be possible to run something like rsshandler on it?
Is there anyone else with interest in this to help make it happen if it is
possible but requires some hacking around with the code? To be able to take
certain regular youtube channels as podcasts offline (for nearly weekly
international flights) on a convertible tablet like the Surface is my dream
come true..
(I assume a backup plan is to run rsshandler on my home desktop and have the
tablet connect to it over LAN when I'm at home, but ideally I'd love for the
tablet to be self-sustaining so that it can continually get new content when
I'm on the road for longer trips versus needing to stop home.)
((Please forgive me for submitting this here but I didn't know where else to
put it and I can definitely see this being something more people will want to
know with Surface and the new Win8 products hitting in another few weeks.))
