Porting status and Canonical developers' news

The porting process of latest Google Android sources to ASUS EeePc 701 is almost complete.
Current status:

• Intel on-board VGA is working ( 640x480 until 2.6.29 Kernel )
• GPS USB Serial device is correctly binded to OS
• LAN 100Mbit Network Adapter is working ( both DHCP and static configuration )
• WiFi Atheros 5k Network Adapter is working ( both DHCP and static configuration )
• USB Mouse and/or Keyboard works
• USB Pen Drives can be mounted as SD Cards
• Audio is not working ( surely an ALSA configuration issue )

Furthermore, our A.API is working. I cannot tell you anything more.

I read in some websites (ArsTechnica) Canonical developers are focusing their attention on run Android applications on Ubuntu.
That can be technically done by writing a Dalvik VM that lies over a Linux distribution.
Or using an emulator, but it exists and it is too slow. No optimization can guarantee a smooth execution of the applications.
