We are able to run Linux next to Android. In fact we are able to run up to 4 linux instances on quad core A9 (versatile express) though the device sharing requires a bit of non-generic tweaks. We run both guests on the device, though Motorola Atrix seems to be connecting to a remote machine via a networking application. How do you relate this technology to a baremetal solution like ours? Do you think they could be used in combination? We have a couple of Tegra2s and will support them in the short term. We are able to run Linux next to Android.

It would be nice to know if their solution works on Tegra2 as well. With this virtualization solution, Motorola-Atrix-type Webtop/Android combinations would be easy to create on any sufficiently powerful Tegra2/OMAP4 ....other dual-CortexA9 systems. I believe something like this will be quite necessary for quad-core Cortex A9/A15 solutions which will obviously try to give both a desktop Linux AND an Android instance in parallel (the hw will be far too strong for Android alone). A 4-core ARM system at 2Ghz with 2GB of RAM would be as strong as my 4 year old work-laptop (which I am still using day-to-day). This is really awesome.
