AMD helping Android fans port to x86

It is actually surprisingly good

I have Honeycomb 3.2 and Linux dual booting with my lightweight Linux of choice on my netbook. It works surprisingly well, quick and responsive and I'll be giving ICS a go soon. In all likelihood I'll switch completely, who wouldn't! If you have an Android phone already and an underused netbook, installing it should be a no-brainer and I can see the gain for a company like Google where it makes revenue from the number of installations with the marketing revenue. The more hardware it can get its software on the better it is for the company.

I still use Linux for word processing on the go mainly and some other tasks and the two are better at different things. It is a case for me of best solution for given task.
