This is an important consideration for real time operations. What I am
particularly interested in is netjack on ARM but I can sacrifice realtime
for my specific needs...


At the moment I just want to get Android up and running so I can tweak it
from there. A it can now also be installed on the iphone (at least in
console mode) it has the potential to make a great future proofed platform.


The Atom platform looks like it will be more viable in the near future with
Ion looking like a very serious breakthrough if Nvidia can make sure they
don't F up the gpu drivers for Linux, if they even release them as I'm sure
they won't be FOSS for a while.


I am also in the process of experimenting with the VIA pico/nano-itx systems.




Cheers.
