Very interested in the Nexus 7 progress. I may have to pick one up and grab a hardware keyboard.

Killing off Android and getting X11/Wayland on there with a regular DE would be amazing.

I can deal with WiFi only - a workaround would be to just carry around an android device or similar as a hotspot.

2013 Nexus 7s appear to go for $1000 in Australia, which is insanity.

I've got one here but some emails sent to me in private have caused me to hold off on running anything custom on it (email for details, not sure if I can release publically).

Wow. Can you share a reference to that insane price?

I may have over-generalised. They're not manufactured any more, are they?

At the time I found that price, I was trying to filter out all the 2012 Nexus 7's (product marketers, please don't use the year to differentiate).
