W00t! Can't wait... my N7 has been collecting dust. Writing special-purpose scientific tools that work on the linux desktop and on N7 seems a much better answer than porting to Android.

Damn, I'd really love to be able to try this out on my Galaxy Tab. I wonder if we'll see a build for those anytime soon.
