[citation][nom]nurgletheunclean[/nom]If Google really wants to increase it's market share, it should just develop a platform independent distro like all the other linux distros, that can be loaded onto various hardware. Then hardware builders can just build generic tablets that simply let users load an os just like windows, linux, bsd.Further make the tablets modular like a notebook, with socketed cpus, memory, flash, etc. load the os via bootable usb.Just look over at XDA how many hoops people jump through to get android onto a nook color or a touchpad. If it was easier to load android onto hardware I think people would be happy to jump on board.[/citation]
Problem with your approach would be size, weight, and power and cooling. It would essentially place desktop rules on a tablet and people would quickly just go back to a laptop. These devices are content consumption devices. The only people that load Android on a Non android device are 1) people who really like Android or 2) enthusiasts which is a very small portion of the base that you want to sell to.
Ever noticed how big a enthusiast focused company gets. They always stay small. Even if they get acquired by a larger company like Alienware and VoodooPC did they almost completely loose what made them cool to begin with. I was a huge fan of VoodooPC stuff back when they where private. Look at them now.....the blackbird....really?
