Most of the bugs from the 12.10 version appear to have been ironed
out and performance is improved. Sizing the desktop for the amount
of available real estate is still an issue, but all in all I find it
a useful upgrade. The amount of flexibility it brings to a rather
capable hardware platform is impressive.<br>

As I understand it, the intent of this beta release isn't to
provide a nice user interface. I gather that's coming. It's to
ensure all the underlying hardware-related OS stuff works well on
this one reference platform. WiFi, battery life, camera, on screen
keyboard, rotation (which is still in progress, apparently),
etc...<br>

<div>I did it last week, Installing was a breeze,
Instructions to reflash the stock android also a
breeze</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The good:</div>
<div>
- Great job to make it run, most of what I tested
works (I couldn't get sound) Wifi worked and the
browsed worked well.</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>Where it still
needs improvement:</div>
<div>
- To slow to be usable</div>
<div>- Font too small</div>

Note that this is not the same solution as having
Ubuntu and Android side by side on the device.</div>

Has anyone out there tried this?<br>

Apparently it is a development project at this
point, but the reported<br>
bugs do not include the terms "initrd", "soft
lock" nor even "wifi" so<br>
it might not be too bad...<br>
