As with all the android builds for the joggler, the main problem is the lack of a gpu driver for GMA500, Intel aren't forth comming in releasing the android driver. Hard acceleration is probably more critical for ICS. There may be possiblities of using drivers from tablets that are released with a Atom processors using the GMA600.

GMA500 is currently in use on linux builds, could this not be ported to the android kernel?

Unfortunately the linux drives can't be ported as all the 3d api is closed source. There was a driver developed by Intel however it was not allowed to distributed outside of Intel due to promotion of GMA600 chipsets.

Now Intel is pushing for android compatibility, maybe they will release it?
