I So Want One of These
-
I had a Raspberry Pi that was supposed to have been shipped to me long ago but it never arrived.
-
@scottalanmiller Get on 'em!!
-
Can't remember now who owed it to me. Obviously their advertising failed!
-
@scottalanmiller or it was perfect. they got you to pay for it and never sent it to you!
-
@Hubtech No, I didn't have to pay. It was a freebie for being a VMware vExpert, companies give free stuff to get advertising and their name out there. But this one turned out to be a scam.
-
It's cute. You may have one @scottalanmiller .

I really wish that they would get Linux Mint ported over to ARM. That would be perfect for this. It is unfortunate that this really only works with Ubuntu as Mint is so slick and it would take so little work to get Mint ported over to it since it is built on Ubuntu.

I'd love to run Android on it!

An Android desktop is interesting but I wonder how many touch apps will be anything but annoying with a mouse and big screen. Can't imagine it being useful at all.

I'm thinking for a dev environment. That'd be awesome!

Would they look a little and feel a lot different on a touchscreen device? Yes. But for initial stages that would be awesome.

What benefit do you see to Android on a non-handheld device? It's a handheld focused OS. It's purpose is mobility. Putting it on a desktop just seems like a horrible desktop experience. What's the draw?
