Ah, I suppose you are right. I was rather imagining the usage pattern of Harry Hacker than that of Joe not-Plumber :p

He forgets that the 'PC' is really a lowly phone and starts running Firefox+Youtube and all other such CPU suckers. Now any normal laptop gets hot. Imagine that poor little phone with a quad-core and other tightly-packed electronics inside?

The kernel deals with the hardware, so hardware acceleration and power saving functions should already been accounted for. In theory.

Indeed all begin as a proof-of-concept. In this case I do believe this one comes with the added advantage of turning your phone into a hot plate. Handy for those mornings when one needs a boiled egg :-) P.

Both methods are feasible, with their own benefits and drawbacks.

I think this builds on that same concept with an offcial version o Ubuntu rather than one that somebody hacked together in their free time.

This seems reason enough to upgrade my aging droidX to something more powerful. I am curious if the doc provides some way to connect to standard networks IE wifi via usb or CAT5 lan.
