They did, it's not great and device support is very limited.
At this point I'm thinking of just carrying around a small touchscreen laptop
From what I can tell most of the roadblock is drivers for hardware support. Basically every price of hardware has to have a reverse engineered driver to work. We need hardware mfrs on board to really gain traction in this arena.
Still, I'm pretty sure my next phone is going to be a Linux phone. I know I'll lose functionality but if I can make calls, send texts, and browse the web I'll get by. Hopefully that space keeps gaining traction and it won't be long until it is a truly viable option to replace google/apple products.
imho the biggest roadblock is more general applications. Most desktop apps don't scale well or at all to mobile screens, but it's better than nothing.
