Yes, but. Specifically: but phones aren't sold actually running Cyanogenmod.
Actual Android installed on phones/tables that I can find (with the
exception of your helpful suggestion below) run a proprietary Android
instead.
Yeah, phones have wandered into the wasteland for now :(. What about the
Nexus phones that are Google's approved development line and have official
CyanogenMod support?

I realize they don't come with Cyanogenmod, but that can be remedied.
There are several allwinner based tablets that can run a traditional
distro as well as android.

What a great-looking device.
Only problem: not in stock right now. I literally might have bought it
instantly if I could have.
Keep watching that space! :)
I hope they get them in stock in time to get your business.
