I run LibO currently on a Asus Eee netbook with 1 Gig of RAM, 1.6 GHz Atom
single core processor and Ubuntu/LibO. It's perfectly usable so I don't see
any reason why multi-core ARM based tablets are going to be "too small
brain". I do think that the tablet market is largely wide open for OOo/LO
but that window of opportunity could be narrow. It would be a good strategy
to get OOo to Android asap because chances are that tablet users would also
install OOo on any Windows PCs they use if it was on their tablet,
especially if they use the tablet more. If one tablet manufacturer
pre-installs OOo others will so as not to lose competitive edge. As time
goes on I can see the imperative in making OOo a better experience on
tablets rather than adding more features but in the first instance better to
just get it working.
