We might have to add another two: CPU + Ram
have no experience with Ubuntu Linux, but from what I've read in some of the user comments, Ubuntu Mobile only supports Intel processors. Others are saying that a support for ARM processors can be enabled via modifications in the kernel of the os, but that sounds very unlikely to me.
And considering the fact that the memory of a P990 is even insufficient for its own os (as soon as average to heavy multitasking is required), running Linux on it is nothing but wishful thinking imo. |

You are right. It will have to be compiled for an Arm processor. The memory may be enough, I know that without the graphical GUI Linux can work on 64 MB PCs, but overall it does seem like a very long shot.

But I have no idea how they got the screen drivers or the touch screen working. I'm skeptical due to these 2 reasons.
Yes, I'm skeptical for the same reasons too. But pretty impressive, did you see how fast that thing flew? And now that we're on the subject, since it is a bit far fetched to replace hw components, is possible to overclock them?
