They are working on an arm port for an unnamed device but it seems like it's still under heavy development. One reason you likely won't see something like the transformer running chromeos is their upstream first policy, which suggests that they won't ship chrome on devices that don't have their driver base included in the base linux kernel. There are exceptions, but I get the feeling they aren't interested in core drivers like graphics being one of them.


Ugh. That makes an unfortunate amount of sense, I hadn't even thought through the embedded device drivers problem. Extremely frustrating across devices and OSes. :[
