Plasma Active on Nexus 7
 
There are updated instructions for installing Plasma Active on Asus Nexus 7 tablet. There is an option to install it alongside Android if someone needs to (in addition to installing it as a sole system).

See now I'm torn: Should I wait until May for the next Nexus 7 and then try out Mer or should I just go for instant gratification now?
Decisions, decisions...

You mean they plan to release Nexus 7 with updated specs in May? Even as is it's a pretty decent device.

Yup, rumour has it that the next Nexus 7 will be unveiled at Google IO in May.
Of course that doesnt mean its available starting May, but I'm just sayin...

You never know what hardware they'll put in next time. There is no guarantee that it will play well with Linux (lack of drivers can again be a problem). Current Nexus 7 at least works.

Indeed: even though Asus and Google have been known to play nice by giving the ability to unloack their bootloaders, one can never be sure.

Anyways, I couldn't wait so I got the Nexus 7. Tomorrow I dual boot Mer!
Finally I get Plasma on a reasonably priced tablet!

Congratz and condolences!

Sound off in the forums about your experience. I may also jump ship... but I'm pretty happy with the NOTE at the moment.
