SD Cards work quite well for flashing...I am unfamiliar with any 
downsides to this experience; will you expand on your statement?

Tails-like reservations I do have are with the "Amnesic" functionality, 
as virtual RAM seems to be the only way to achieve this on Android, and 
I am unfamiliar with the limitations of actually doing so.

Y'all already have LUKS for Android, and "Live" is more or less 
perception-based, so it doesn't seem that far off, especially if the 
intended thoroughness of ioerror's work is adopted; what does everything 
really do, and so on.

AOSP instead of CM; good move, though it isn't apparent why only the two 
Nexus devices are supported; AOSParadox tries to address this, it seems.

This is cool as a complete effort; the full 
Hardware:hardware:Software:Firmware stack, and all, but requires quite 
the old operational try, one my Dad ain't too fond of.

Are there documented attempts with Windows mobile devices?  I am not 
familiar with success at doing much of anything in this respect with the 
N900 or its nicer counterpart, the N9.

This can be part of the experience on any platform, really.

The current size is limiting for current Tails experiences, though I am 
sure that will quickly change; Pi Zero has a SD slot, for example.  
intrigeri might have more to say.

Of course :)

This wasn't clear or easily locatable; will you point?
