Android 4 Coming To the Raspberry Pi 99

Posted by Unknown Lamer from the working-down-the-feature-list dept.
SmartAboutThings writes "Raspberry Pi ... might be getting a functional Android port real soon. According to a post on their official blog, they have managed to port almost all the basic functions of Android 4.0 on Raspberry Pi, besides audio support. This comes after the Raspbian OS has been released for Raspberry Pi, and it promises to be 40% faster." For anyone hoping for source to the graphics accelerator, you're still out of luck: everything video related is still implemented using a blob.

    Android is designed to be lightweight? What nonsense.

    Ice Cream Sandwich? Raspberry Pie? I think I gained five pounds just reading this article.

    Lightweight? I think not.

    So, what you're saying is that it's "write once, run anywhere but android"?

    Java has never been that portable anyway. If you want to write code that you can run in virtual machines on pretty much any platform I would go for NES-compatible. There aren't many platforms out there without a NES emulator.
