For the Ethiopian reading project we used Motorola Xooms. http://blog.laptop.org/tag/ethiopia/#.UYzcvP1Dsp8 I'd give you one but all I have left is 2 broken ones. They support 5Ghz and we ran a TeamEOS build on them. http://www.xoomforums.com/forum/team-eos/ Actually our build was and earlier build before the name changed to team-eos. I also ran CyanogenMod 10.0 on the last working one I had. It works well. I've built apps but not yet built a full OS build. Building a full tree requires a pretty beefy machine these days and CyanogenMod >= 10 requires you use a 64-bit os now. > My core criteria is being able to have deep insight into the gsm/lte > and/or wifi drivers. The Xoom has a BCM4329 802.11n WiFi which may not be the best choice for you. OLPC is currently investigating running android on the XO-4. I'll let you know if we actually do a port. -- Richard A.
