A bit off-topic, but asking anyway out of curiosity while waiting for my tablet:

How complete are the libraries and general purpose development tools provided with the tablet (or within reach from accessible repos)?

I mean, can we compile C/C++ and Gtk stuff on the tablet itself to get productivity tools like Inkscape, Libreoffice, Gimp or MyPaint up running on the tablet? Firefox? Thunderbird?

If so, is it possible to attach a mouse and have a cursor for input on the screen and use those programs as on a desktop?

Moreover, has anyone succeeded in making precompiled x86 code running on the tablet? I am thinking along the lines of Skype or Spotify...

Any success with emulators or even better, virtualizers like Virtualbox?

The chipset and hardware should be fairly "standard" to the Linux ecosystem, so my guess is that programs like these should work without too much trouble, given that they can be compiled and put on the tablet, right?
