Now this is pretty cool.  We've always wondered what it might be like to port a desktop OS to the Nexus 7 and what better way to start than to wrestle Google's own Chromium OS onto their own tablet.  That's exactly what well known Chromium guru and developer Hexxeh did when he had a night to spare and felt like getting his hands wet.  Now it's not quite ready for public consumption yet but Hexxeh promises to make a build available to everyone when he thinks it's ready.   This would really give us a reason to use our bluetooth keyboard and hopefully a dual boot configuration would give us the best of both worlds...Android and Chromium all on our N7.  Pretty cool! You can stay up to date and get more details on Hexxeh's work at his blog here. (http://hexxeh.net/?p=328117891)
