It should be doable,  aboot that android devices use is different to
uboot. on my ac100 ive had troubles getting an initrd loaded. i get
errors about the initramfs being corrupted. its also space constrained
so you have to make a host specific initramfs to fit in the 8mb limits
it places on kernel and initramfs. you could possibly also just use the
android kernel though im not sure if that is sufficient. I know KDE has
been working on a touch interface, pretty sure gnome has also. I do
expect at some point soon we will see tablet spins show up for arm and
x86.
