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.
I'm wondering why you want to use Android. It isn't the complete Linux
platform. What I mean is that while it includes the Linux kernel, it
doesn't include glibc (for instance). Why not just use the complete
gnu toolchain for arm? That would seem to be your better choice. So,
you must have some other goal?
I didn't realise that it was missing glibc. That's a major drawback.
The main incentive behind using Android is that the dev platform
integrated pretty nicely which makes it a lot easier to work with.
I have looked into a couple of other options but it's hard to get into them.
If you have any suggestions I would love to know about them.
Cheers.
