A lot of the hard work has already been done on Chromebooks. Admittedly, the situation on ARM isn't as rosy as it is on x86 but the ChrUbuntu method for installing Linux might be a good starting point. Let's wait and see if anyone takes the plunge to release a ChromeOS phone.

We end up with something like Maemo? I'm not sure that I understand your point to be honest. If you're referring to X11 design flaws, thus security issues, I half take your point but many of those can be mitigated if you know what you are doing. X11 is still the display server of choice on probably over 95% of Linux distros. How about if you ask the same question to desktop Linux users?
