Developers Chih-Wei Huang and Yi Sun originated the project in 2009. The project began as a series of patches to the Android source code to enable Android to run on various netbooks, tablets and ultra-mobile PCs. Huang is the current project maintainer. Currently active developers include Mauro Rossi and Michael Goffioul.[8]

Over the last years, we have seen many Linux-powered tablets, all of which developed with different approaches to "openness". For instance, the PineTab trades performance and a somewhat conservative design for a very low selling price and full Linux support, which made its demand high to the point of becoming essentially impossible to find on the used market. The JingPad offered a modern, premium feel and near-flagship performance, but it is more of a Linux userspace over an Android kernel, and it did not particularly open to third-party projects. 2ff7e9595c
