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
