Click to expand... They are? Here is some info from late 2012 https://lwn.net/Articles/514901/ It says mainlining of Android kernel features is not complete. How is Android run on Pandora? Does it use its own kernel or the Pandora one? Sorry if this is offtopic. Possibly support for X.org and OpenGL is more of a differentiating feature that we should be looking at? Also we could eventually use something like hybris https://plus.google.com/108138837678270193032/posts/P2f8bRa9m1M#108138837678270193032/posts/P2f8bRa9m1M Also of some interest: Exynos 5 A15 soc with Ubuntu beating a Tegra 3 in all tests http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTI0NzA I
