Can you load your own OS on the Nexus 7? This thing can run Linux as well as Ubuntu. http://www.hardkernel.com/renewal_2011/products/prdt_info.php?g_code=G1339

  Nexus 7 just started shipping. I'm sure it will be hacked to run Linux in a few weeks.

    I am sure it is already running Linux ;)

      "Suddenly" RMS' advice to write GNU/Linux makes sense, huh. (At least it usefully separates your typical distro from Android, which doesn't use the GNU userland and C library.)

    > I'm sure it will be hacked to run Linux in a few weeks. While lacking video driver and you can only play 480p video?

  just search play for ubuntu installer, its a way to chroot and boot an xserver and then you vnc into it... kind of hack, sure, but there are also xservers and busybox, depends on your needs if these options will work for you. i haven't heard much about people using an arm build of ubuntu on droid devices, though, although it seems i remember something about it being worked on
