Therefore Android (Cyanogen/Replicant) could actually be a working solution and I was not fully joking when I said Nokia should just leak instructions (via Tor) how step-by-step Android can be installed to their tablet-device.

@mikecomputing: Just start making Qt-apps to Android while waiting some other Linux variant (, which you'd like more, and me too perhaps) is really alive. Android-devices are good, they just work, although they are not perfect.
