Can't wait until a rom (or is it called an image?) is released for my galaxy s3 so I can use it as a second booting alternative! Always liked the idea of connecting my phone to a screen and a keyboard and getting a true desktop experience, especially that the current quad cores and the upcoming ones (like Samsungs next 14nano one) with 1-3gb of ram allow that! But hope that we find other than html5 versions of apps, coz not always do one have access to the Internet!

Nothing exciting. But if it is fully optimized with a lot of apps, android ll need much more development.

There is no 'Android Kernel'. Android uses the Linux kernel
