Has anyone thought about putting android on one of these things. Some googling shows that android has been hacked onto certain chromebooks, I wondered if there was any reason why you can't do this on the Asus?
Great work getting this box XBMC-ready.
link?

Thanks for all your work.....
I too am also seeing this 100% cpu issue when idle it seems.

dual booting Ubuntu or OpenELEC? 100% CPU on one core or both?
OpenElec and the 100% CPU is on one core when the machine is idle. I noticed that when I was running a music scan is was actually lower and once the CPU switched frequencies from 800 to 1400 that number dropped. I need to ssh in and do some analysis and see whats causing this (I am fairly handy with Linux as I do development on it professionally).
Thanks again for the awesome guide. Now its time to put it thought its paces as a playback device and see how it compares to my other XBMC rigs... (Longtime XBMC user since it was XBMP and it wouldn't even play DVD's)
