Strangely enough... I've been using an Android 'ePad' for some long time
now, mainly for reading documents and web surfing...

That device with a small bluetooth keyboard (2/3rds size) works very well.

My experience of the 2-in-1 form-factor is that the hinges and docking
connectors are far too vulnerable and fragile for normal use...


OK... So how easy is it to put full blown Linux freedom onto an Android
tablet?

Is this where we need a modern-day install fest to see how many mobile
devices we can subvert?? :-)

Ubuntu convergence anyone??? ;-)


Cheers,
Martin
