I think this makes ChromeOS a viable option for use on phones. The great thing about ChromeOS on phones would be that it uses glibc and seems to be compatible with X11 (it actually uses a display server called Freon but from what I can tell, it is largely compatible with X11). We may start to see phones that have compatible graphics drivers rather than the Android-only mess that we are currently stuck with.

The other nice thing of course is that it also opens up the possibility of having an alternative to Shashlik and sfdroid for running Android apps on normal Linux.
