Mac OS X Apple's Mac OS X has been successfully used to boot up an Asus R2H ultra-mobile PC, which runs the operating system slowly but surely. To minimise claims that all the still photography is faked, the start-up process has been captured on video.

I wonder if Linux could work on that device too. Including the stylus input and WiFI and power management stuff.

If MacOS X can run on an unsupported mobile PC, Linux certainly could as well; linux is meant to run on a far broader number of systems. Mac OS X on any system beyond Macintosh is newsworthy because drivers for white box systems are so scarce.
