    So this is running quite well now. It's currently running gingerbread on an Android x86 emulator. Pretty rock solid. Messed around with a few apps and it runs fine. The thing is a little sluggish on my laptop (intel su7300 coreduo) though. This should be interesting once they update it to an ICS/JB build as it'll properly display in tablet mode for apps.

    So imagine this with a Windows Surface Pro tablet.

    I'm actually going to end up using it on a regular basis. I think for most people, this will end up being a novelty. But I use Google+ Messenger alot and google doesn't seem to be making a webapp for that so it's quite annoying to jump back to my phone to reply to people on that when I'm on a desktop. Everything else has a desktop solution, google voice to sms from desktop and google talk.
