Android on RPi?

It has ARM so you could run Android on it; Actually there are many problems for now:

– Android 2.3: boots, very slow; (CyanogenMOD 7.2);

– Android 4.0: boots, unstable; (CyanogenMOD 9);– Official Android 4.0.3 (built by Broadcom): Boots, very

fast with hardware acceleration. Not yet released by Broadcom !!!

– Ice Cream Sandwich: work in progress; Follow updates on
