I must say, this looks pretty slick. Wonder how well the multitasking stuff will hold up in practice?

Here's hoping some clever bods will get this working on a HP Touchpad, would love to resurrect my touchpad from it's dusty grave. Can't imagine there would be much problem given that it's had no problems running Android. Bring it on!

Does anybody know if this will give access to bash etc? Could I develop on this with a bluetooth keyboard?

EDIT: full desktop with mouse and keyboard! Should have finished watching the video before commenting. I'm interested in this thin client for windows also - is this standard in the regular Ubuntu distros?




A few weeks ago I put Ubuntu 12.04 on my touchpad. I was hoping to run a full rails stack and actually do some dev on the device, or at least use it for testing.

I think I'm getting close. But unfortunately, the UX is difficult to work with without a mouse and keyboard (which I am yet to hook-up).

I'm sure we'll see this on the touchpad before too long.


w.r.t. the windows thin client, does this also mean it's going to mandate x86 processor?
