[Rory O'Farrell <of...@iol.ie>]

BBC report that Ubuntu will be modified to run on Android phones.  This may open the door for a port of Apache OpenOffice

I offer the  report as is, from a reliable news source.  Please don't shoot the messenger!

    I can't wait to see that.

    I tried to install Linux inside my Android ASUS Transformer in last
week  I hoped to see OpenOffice my Transformer.  The performance is
poor.  Android uses framebuffer instead of the X-server for display.
Framebuffer is terrible in performance for desktop applications.

    From the news article, it seems that Canonical is planning to
replace the Android OS on the devices with its Ubuntu Linux.  This seems
reasonable to solve the framebuffer performance problem, replacing it
completely with an X-server.  However, I have many Android applications
and games on my Transformer.  I would not replace my Android OS for that. :p
