ARTICLE

The "android mania" spreads everywhere, it started with a emulator/sdk, then htc phones, and some opensource communities port it to Nokia Tablet (as seen on previous video tutorial) ...

Netbooks like asus's eeepc-701 also supports eeedroid, watch this video proof (software download and procedure to build it and flash it, may be available later if needed). Currently mouse or tactile screen is missing, but the pointer can easily moved using keyboard.

But now it goes a step beyond, using this ink paper display device from moto

What the future will be ? Who know ? you ? then tell us.

Anyway I am curious to know where the opensource communities will drive this OS, will it stay along google or will it fork in "a gnudroid project" ...

I don't know yet if a such project is justified or not, but purchasing a GNU/Linux device where you have no root privileges is very frustrating... openmoko may be a simpler solution to this problem.
