I look forward to trying this out!
Interesting
I've never seen anyone wrap git up in something else... what is this "repo" business? http://source.android.com/source/using-repo.html
Could we see motherboard manufacturers release versions of ICS bundled in for free?
I can imagine when Google merges Chrome OS with Android, I can imagine many of the Acer Aspire Revo PC's coming with Android VESA mounted on to a touch screen PC.
Android x86 is really nice but it has some really big problems that hamper it
Main issue is apps have to be compiled for x86, getting onto the official market place is difficult and when you get there nothing works.
Other issues i've seen is mainly with the broadcom wireless drivers, since broadcom wont let anyone distribute the drivers you have to compile your own build a lot of low cost devices (netbooks) use broadcom 4000 series chips and wireless drivers are really something you cant live without. (They did get it working with some builds of 2.3 but its broken again in 3.2)
Other issue is with auto rotation, some apps will rotate the screen and then leave it there, without an accelerometer it doesn't realise its wrong and gets stuck there.
I have run various builds of a-x86 on my compaq netbook, with the atom 1.6 and 2gb of ram it really zips along a lot faster than my galaxy s (340mb of usable ram).
The lack of flash plugin in all builds is a downer though, then again arm devices don't have flash on 4.0 yet

In case anyone is wondering how big the entire android repositories are:And at ~200KiB/s and a whole heap of connection errors, needless to say it took quite a bit of time to finish. I guess the release of ICS means they're getting hammered by syncs and inits.Code:aidan@aidan-laptop ~/Documents/Development/Android $ du -sh 9.4G .
