The ability to run the Android OS as a fully functional desktop on PCs took a giant leap forward this month with a release that merges the Android-x86 Project with Jide Technology’s Remix OS distribution.
Android-x86 Project developer Chih-Wei Huang late last month announced on the project’s website a partnership with Jide. He started the Android-x86 Project in 2009 and quickly realized that it had the potential to spread “the use of Android to as many of the common x86 platforms in the world as possible.”
