By the way (off topic):
Does anybody have any experience with generic Android versions? (such
as CyanogenMod, which Mord mentioned)
There is not such thing as a "generic android version". The amount of
propietary crap available on Android devices make it impossible to run
it from free software. As the drivers are user space, there is usually
no ABI problem and thus "modders" just port them to the stock image.
The kernel is always modified, and usually not released (yes, screw
GPL). The bootloaders are sealed.
Even if you manage to get this working - Android is your best pal. Using
Desktop Linux apps is a pure dog's shite on touch screen.
A sound advice - if you don't see the device you want to buy on
Cyanogen's list, don't buy it. In 2 years it will be useles if you
cannot put newer software on it. This is from someone who has a GalaxyS1
which is running Cyanogenmod from git, and a Transformer that is running
stock (since the support for it sux balls).
