I love this forum sometimes - We can have dozens of threads created about the same thing, which then need to be merged; and then we also have little gems like this hidden inside a loosely-related thread.This looks interesting, looks like Intel have been working with others in getting Linux working along side Android on Cherry Trail SOC based devices.

Anyway... I kind of like the sound of the device, but the problem with Android on x86 is that a number of apps do not support the x86 architecture, obviously all the ones just written in Java will, but I know Skype doesn't (or at least didn't), and I imagine most games will use native code, and thus be reliant on ARM
