Great link!  The Android X86 port appears "not ready for prime
time", given the ARM processor focus of Android.  Perhaps Intel
will work on that.

There are some interesting hardware dongle options, like the
MK802 II ($37 from Amazon) with HDMI output - can't drive a
laptop with that, but it probably can drive a desktop monitor
through an adapter.  I'm guessing the hacker community will be
all over this, and there will be lots more options in a year or so.

So I'll stop worrying about it for now.
