Still clinging on to your
HTC HD2 ? Good on ya, cos this WinMo slate's about to last you a wee bit longer -- team HTC Linux has recently made a breakthrough with getting the touchscreen to talk to the
HaRET Linux bootloader. In other words, us mere mortals can finally use Linux variants like
Android and
Ubuntu on the HD2 the way it's meant to be, although we're apparently still a few bugs away from a stable release. Until then, enjoy the techno-fueled video demo after the break.
