Question

Sorry for the stupid question, but since i don’t know the inner workings of android system, i have to ask this. I’d like to buy an android tablet and it’s a pretty recent model (link at the bottom), but the fact is that i need it as a development device so a connectivity with adb is a must. So i wanted to ask if its possible that a device would not work with adb on absolutely all operating systems? Is adb a standard os feature that every device has or is it something that a manufacturer has to implement and so may choose not to?

Thank you for your thoughts

Yes. If the device does not legitimately have the Android Market on it, it may or may not support adb, and it may or may not have Windows device drivers for adb.

The device you link to should not have the Android Market on it, as it does not meet the Compatibility Definition Document requirements for Android 2.1 and therefore would not qualify.

I would not use this tablet as your primary development test hardware, unless you are only developing applications for this tablet.
