There is some validity to this argument, however, from what I
understand, it is impossible to install a different OS on a
smartphone/tablet. All the cases I have seen are about running Ubuntu
within Android, or am I very dated as is quite possible re: this...

I have a related issue that maybe someone can help me with.
idon't have a cell phone; rather, I dont have a new, bleeding-edge
cell because of my impaired speech. but I am looking to buy a
small box or tablet. something that runs some variant of "unix"
that I can install linux or android over and program.
I've already got an eee-900A with 16gig of SSD. time to try
something else that has [1] a keyboard, and [2] a speaker.
I'm looking for some small platform for my "voice-by-computer"
gtk-accessibility program for the speech impaired.
any ideas?
tia,
gary
