$32 million Crowd Funding for Android/Ubuntu phone

Libra Office supports ARMel and ARMhf, so it can run on ARM.
edit: i think all of the office suits does support ARM instruction sets.

thats not even remotely possible even with Baytrail-T, wine is too inefficient.
edit2: this got me thinking, what can you do with a PC thats as slow as a pentiumII o.o
the things i were doing on the pentiumII i had were DOS games and a few word and paint, internet didn't exist at that time for me.
Saras:
I checked. Unless I greatly overlooked it. It's not the full suite. You get draw, database and equation, that's it. And I'm not even sure it has the complete capabilities of the desktop version either.
A lot of shit is ineffient. PC code comes in here too. But basic wine support is imo a must. You can't run Linux as a main system without it.
kitamesume:
i've had first hand experience of wine on a D525 atom, since we were trying to cut cost down by not purchasing a windows OS while keeping the machine legal, it couldn't even emulate anything without locking up or crashing.
considering that it would be possible that baytrail-T to be around the same performance of it, unlikely for merrifield though.

I think this is a good articles that mention kitamusume's objection about chips.

While this one is pure bad. Being Guardian and supporting cloud without mentioning about the snowden case at all, is just pure bashing. Plus there's a lot of misinformation.

So I wonder if the edge is killed prematurely by this kind of articles.

For some reason I'm getting this "watching people argue about sports" vibe from the chip debate here. Not sure why...
Also if you're gonna run wine you may as well put windows on the phone as an OS, unless you have a good reason for keeping Ubuntu as main os and then emulating the one you find necessary... Just my 2 more cents.
No really I'd fucking love it if you'd make a phone that I could play eroge on.
