I personally know of no mainstream mobile phones or tablets that support
this feature. Even if it worked, I would imagine the performance and
usability to be pretty terrible.

I think our best bet will be to start with Ubuntu Touch or Firefox OS,
and strip it back to something you all are comfortable with putting the
Tails name on.
