Android is almost fully supported with Linux kernel 3.3

  Don't be too hopeful- Binder is still a big sticking point, and nothing is going to work without it. The two schools of thought on it are:

  * It is a terrible, terrible interface that doesn't belong in the kernel

  * Linux supports SysV IPC because other Unices do, Binder is at least as popular

  Before you pile in and declare your reasonableness by endorsing the latter position, please understand that the former is not exactly on thin ice.

  Someone else said that full support will come with kernel 3.5. But does that mean Linux apps will be able to work on Android then?

  Yay, hopefully I can soon run Android parallel to a x-server on my netbook
