True. My phone is more powerful than that and it is a shame I can't hook an external display to it, a keyboard and a mouse and use it as a PC.
Well, I can, but all I get to use are Android apps.

Not when android manufacturers/google refuse to give me the type of control that open posix systems provide. Android is a useless hostle system for people like me (and it's not because of improved security).
If you feel inclined to mention the BSDs, how are those upstream contributions from Apple and Sony going?
Can you provide an example of how Android does not give you the control that you seek, how it is useless, or how is it hostile? From my point of view Android is much more suited for being an OS targeting consumer usage than a POSIX clone. POSIX comes from a world with much different requirements that do not work in the modern world.
It tries, but between things like Firefox for Android not supporting hotkeys and chrome for Android not supporting middleclick, it seems like every typical Android app has some type of resistance to desktop usability in addition to their regular anti-user designs.

given that winxp runs inside most browsers, i'd rekon there is some kind of vm technology available to escape the android ecosystem.
