Re: AOO on Nexus 7 and the Kim Komando Show
One consideration is power consumption, cost is another, multi-vendor is another. We can also learn from history that volumes determine markets and the Android/Arm combo is sweeping the planet. It's not in our power to stop that any more than is would be to ignore Windows on desktops. If Intel can't stop it I doubt we have any chance of doing so. If AOO/odf editing wants to get out there as far as possible it needs to go to any large volume platform and Android/ARM already looks set to be the biggest. Looks like its easier for ARM to scale up and keep costs and power consumption down than it is for x86 to scale down without melting your device or a hole in your pocket ;-).

I can run any darn x86 OS I want on it, Win7, Ubuntu Linux, Fedora Linux, FreeBSD. There are many other x86 tablets with CPUs from AMD and Intel. Why people continue restricting themselves to ARM/Android devices (besides 50%+ lower cost) when they could have the power of a full laptop on a tablet form factor is beyond me...
