I do believe that Tegra 3 or what ever nvidia product will not be the case:
1. Lack of proper linux support.
2. proprietary closed driver with no data sheets makes user to be forced to use only kernels that are available from nvidia developers.
3. High price, high demand on the market for tegra 3 (see as Nexus 7 is tablet gamebraker)(for big companies like LG, ASUS, Huawei etc.)

Guys, did none of you hear about libhybris?

Carsten Munk has announced libhybris, a bridge for between the Bionic C library used by Android, and glibc - the C library more commonly used by Linux systems (including everything from Maemo to Ubuntu and, especially, Mer).

What this means is that binary-only hardware drivers, built on top of Bionic, will be able to run on top of a glibc system with Hybris. This will allow easier adaptation of Mer, for example, to hardware where there are Android drivers, but not free software ones.

Shown on video is a unmodified test program, built against Mesa headers and glibc, using GL shaders, fullscreen on a Qualcomm GPU on a HP Touchpad (thanks to WebOS Developer Relations for sending me one) with the GPU userland driver being utilized. Android kernel is utilized with glibc userland. Future directions can be Wayland on top of this solution, utilizing vendor RIL .so's, etc. Come to #mer on irc.freenode.net to discuss this more and get involved in testing this on various hardware and do more amazing demos than the one shown on the demo.

Sorry if I got this wrong but wouldn't that mean that mer could run on any android device?

However, time will tell how useful this really is... In the real world.

Seeing is believing!

Well done Mr munk!

Yea, cause if this is fully and properly developed, it means great things, not just for mer and jolla, but Linux on mobile in general.
